Today's Financial Times includes a supplement on Sustainable Banking. It quotes Sir Terry Leahy, chief executive of Tesco, UK's largest supermarket chain,
"The battle to win customers in the 21st century will be increasingly fought not just on value, choice and convenience but on being good neighbours, being active in the communities, seizing the environmental challenges, and on behaving responsibly, fairly, and honestly in all our actions."
Since Sir Terry's statement in May, other retail chains have been tripping over themselves to spell out their environmental and ethical credentials, according to the FT.
