💙 Baby Loss Awareness Week: A time for remembrance & support 💗 This week is Baby Loss Awareness Week, a time to honour & remember babies lost during pregnancy, birth or infancy.

We understand the profound impact baby loss can have, which is why we have a comprehensive policy in place to offer support to anyone affected by miscarriage, stillbirth, or infant loss. We are committed to ensuring our colleagues have the support they need during such a difficult time. 🕯 Every year, the week ends with the Wave of Light on 15th October, a moment for families and loved ones to light candles to remember their much-loved babies 🕯 Lets continue to raise awareness and create a space where families feel supported. To anyone who has experienced baby we loss, we stand with you, and your loss is recognized and remembered.   #BabyLossAwarenessWeek

We’re launching two new Bio-LNG refuelling facilities, as we continue to invest in infrastructure to support the decarbonisation of our operations. The facilities in Warrington and Dartford now mean we have thirteen fully operational Bio-LNG stations strategically located across the UK. This type of fuel is a leading, lower carbon alternative to diesel, and our continued investment in a UK-wide LNG distribution network is an important step as we look to cut carbon emissions across our operations 🚚

Today we have launched a new initiative with Colgate-Palmolive, to help combat tooth decay amongst 70,000 children living in some of the most deprived parts of the UK. Tooth decay remains the leading cause of hospital admission for children aged 5 to 9 years, with those living in the most deprived communities 3.5 times more likely to have a decaying tooth extracted than children in more affluent areas. To address this dental inequality, we are donating more than 70,000 free dental kits to help children look after their teeth and gums and educate them on why it’s important to do so. We are continuing to launch new ways to better support schools, including our Cashpot for Schools initiative which has raised over £3m for UK primary schools since launching at the start of September 🎒🦷

Today is World Mental Health Day 💚🌍   Let's take a moment to acknowledge that mental health is just as important as physical health.   This year's theme emphasises that “It’s time to prioritise mental health in the workplace.” Highlighting the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of colleagues, organisations, and communities. At Asda, we maintain that open conversations on mental health is vital to breaking stigmas, fostering a culture of awareness and support across the business. To better support our colleagues, we train at least one manager in every store and depot via our partnership with Rethink Mental Illness. We offer unlimited mental health consultations through our partnership with Unum, helping colleagues to look after their mental health where needed. We also have designated wellbeing spaces throughout the head office to provide a calm environment for relaxation and reflection. Let's work together to build a world where mental health is a priority for everyone, everywhere. 💚   #Asda #WorldMentalHealthDay #BreakTheStigma #MentalHealthMatters

We’re excited to reveal that we are trialling a new colleague uniform that will see over 2,600 colleagues sporting a fresh new look for the Asda business! The trial uniform has been developed with our colleague representatives, taking onboard their feedback to include new fabrics and designs to support their roles and that they will be proud to wear. This is the first time in 12 years that we have given our colleague uniform a major overhaul, and we can’t wait to hear the feedback from colleagues and incorporate into our final version. Read here for more information, and to hear from colleagues at our Morley store taking part in the trial 💚

On Friday we launched our Asda Futures programme! Engaging with secondary schools around Yorkshire to promote hidden careers by challenging the young people with a product design task. The year will encourage the development of employ-ability skills to enable students to become career ready as well as allowing them to positively engage with professionals and learn about varied career pathways.   During the launch our young people took part in tasks to develop their critical thinking, teamwork and public speaking as they were asked to start designing a sustainable vegan product that will fit into Asda's Exceptional range paying particular attention to sustainability.   We look forward to welcoming the schools back in November for a session on product development.   #SDG8 #SDG12 #careerready #employabilityskills #earlycareers #sustainability"
