    J Sainsbury plc Preliminary Results Announcement 2020-21 Wednesday, 28 April 2021 - 9:30 am Simon Roberts Chief Executive Officer Good morning. Welcome to our 2020/2021 results presentation. Thank you everyone for joining us today. It’s been an exceptional year for the business, for our people and in everything we've delivered for our customers. First and foremost, I want to recognise the outstanding contribution of my colleagues, of our entire team. They have risen to the huge challenges and have been heroic in how they have looked after our customers, and each other, every day. I’m really proud of the business and the part we played within the wider industry response, as food supply chains really stepped up to feed the nation. My thanks also to our suppliers for all their support and partnership. They have done a fantastic job throughout the last 12 months. Every day in every part of what we do, we cared about what mattered most for our customers, our colleagues and the communities we serve. Safety first, prioritising the elderly, disabled and vulnerable from day one, protecting availability, supporting shielding colleagues, supporting communities with food donation. Our values really came to the fore. And it’s been a time of extraordinary change, learning and agility for the business too. We have responded and adapted well throughout the pandemic. We have delivered at pace, every step of the way and as a result, we’re stronger & fitter for the future. I set out a clear plan and strategy in November to transform our busines over the next three years.
