The UK’s largest retailer said today (16 October) that shoppers would see “Buy One Get One Free – Later” offers in its stores.
The promotion is designed to allow consumers to pick up their free product “when they need it” and help keep waste down, Tesco claimed.
The offer was unveiled as Tesco chief executive Sir Terry Leahy said the retailer would look to reduce the “carbon impact” of its products in the UK by 30% by 2020.
Sir Terry also committed Tesco to becoming a “zero-carbon business” by 2050.
