Creating Vibrant Communities

SuperValu will work to positively impact the communities in which we operate through a focus on social, economic and environmental prosperity.

• SuperValu has sponsored the TidyTowns competition since 1991, making it one of the longest running community sponsorships in Ireland.
• SuperValu TidyTowns Competition inspires almost 30,000 passionate volunteers across 924 committees who give over 3 million hours of their time back to their community every year. 
• 2022: SuperValu’s ‘Save the Bees’ competition saw 560,000 primary school children across 3,241 schools learn about the importance of bees and biodiversity.
• 2023: SuperValu launched a new three-year partnership with GIY Ireland called SuperValu Let’s GROW to help 50,000 children from 1,600 schools and their families learn where food comes from.

At SuperValu, we understand the importance of helping shoppers to make more sustainable choices and we are continually expanding our sustainable ranges so shoppers can take action on reducing the carbon in their shopping trolley.

• SuperValu are committed to providing more sustainable choices in-store through our ranges:
  • Plant based ranges including The Happy Pear
  • Packaging free fruit & vegetable ranges
  • Eco range
  • Taste of Local
• Recycle / sustainability symbols will be more prevalent on our Own Brand packaging, making it easier for our shoppers to identify sustainable packaging options, as well as making it easier for shoppers to dispose of packaging correctly.

SuperValu are committed to remaining the largest supporter of the Irish food industry and to sourcing sustainably and ethically, as well as continuing to support over 1,800 Irish suppliers.

• In partnership with Guaranteed Irish, we believe in buying Irish and supporting local and for every €1 spent on Irish goods, €5 comes back to the Irish economy.
• SuperValu’s Food Academy programme, run in conjunction with Bord Bia and the Local Enterprise Offices, gives start-up food and drink producers an opportunity to get their products on SuperValu shelves 52 weeks of the year.
