Waitrose & Partners

Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant

John Lewis Partnership is committed to supporting the Armed Forces community and recognises the value serving personnel, Reservists, Veterans and military families bring to our organisation. Recently we have launched a Veteran and Military Families community, as we recognised the need to consider the families of veterans and those currently serving, as well as partners who have served. 

We have also established a Military Families Peer Support Group to allow family members of veterans and those who are currently serving to come together and connect and offer peer support, as well as a Military Families Buddy Proposition, which allows the opportunity to connect with someone who has a lived experience of being part of a military family on a one to one basis. Additionally, we're exploring policies to support military spouses, such as enabling transfers within the business if their spouse is deployed.
