Little Helps Plan KPIs – Data Summary.
The Little Helps Plan is made up of three pillars; our People, our Products and our Places, and underpinned by our Foundations. These areas are core to our business model and the delivery of the Plan is
embedded in our day to day operations. For each pillar we have defined a number of priority targets and the actions that will help us deliver them. To measure our progress against these actions we have
identified a series of measurable Key Performance Indicators (KPIs). These cover our activities in our Tesco stores business in the United Kingdom (UK), Republic of Ireland (ROI), Central Europe (CE) and
Asia. With the majority of our customers being in the UK, implementation has begun with our UK operations, although where data is monitored internationally, it has been included below.

The following table shows our methodology, results and progress overview for each KPI. In some cases, historical data exists, but in others we are reporting against the KPI for the first time this year. We
track KPIs each quarter internally, where applicable, and report externally to stakeholders on an annual basis. Most of our KPIs are monitored over the Tesco financial year, representing the period from
March – February inclusive. Some of our KPIs cover a calendar year and this is marked with footnotes accordingly. Where a Group figure is shown, this represents the sum of the results from UK, ROI,
Central Europe and Asia. The markets which these regions cover is set out below:

UK United Kingdom

ROI Republic of Ireland

Our progress against each of the KPIs is tracked in the following way:

Early stages New KPIs where we don’t yet have enough data to judge progress. In some cases, this refers to areas where we have only
just started to work and measurement processes are still being established.
Further progress needed Further progress required to meet our target. Challenges identified have been referred to our leadership teams and plans
are being developed to overcome these.
Good progress Progress made and on schedule to achieve intended target. Data shows a positive trend or where the trend is flat,
performance is already strong.
Goal achieved Target met. Where we don’t have a specific end target, or the action is by nature ongoing, this scoring is used if we have
continued to show good progress over a number of years and have plans in place to maintain this.
