Question

Tesco has become the UK's first retailer to work on sustainability by developing a smart way of controlling wastage in its top-selling food and beverage products. This initiative is a first for the retail industry and has set a benchmark for businesses keen to act on food waste.
Tesco's focus on reducing food waste forms part of its wider commitment to addressing the economic, health and environmental issues that are most important to the longevity of its business and improving the transparency of its supply chain.

Based on supply chain concepts and integration of supply chain drivers, evaluate how Tesco can reorganize around the sustainability related objectives and manage costs at the same time. In making your recommendations to the management, highlight the value add and influence of services and quality management – particularly in a VUCA environment.
