The company's core business is food retailing, while also having business activities across furniture, pharmaceuticals, household products, hospitality, logistics, property, and financial services. Shoprite operates their supermarket activities through four major brands, Shoprite, Checkers, Checkers Hyper and Unsave.

Summary

Shoprite performs poorly overall and ranks 47th in the food and agriculture sector with a score of 5.1 out of 100. It has an opportunity to improve its performance across all measurement areas.

Shoprite, like many other companies, performs well on having a grievance channel for its own employees.

Shoprite has an opportunity to making a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment, as well as on publicly aligning its primary carer leave policy to ILO standards of at least 14 weeks and its secondary carer policy to ILO standards of 2 weeks, to disclose more information about its policies in place regarding violence and harassment in the workplace and its remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances in the workplace and requiring its suppliers to have an effective remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances of their workers.
