To Our Shareholders, Associates, Customers, Vendors and Neighbors:

In the spring of 2010, we launched our corporate social responsibility "V.A.L.U.E." program with the reshaping of the corporate social responsibility section of our corporate website. One year later, it is my pleasure to present The TJX Companies' first Corporate Social Responsibility Report. In the following pages, you will find a section devoted to each of the five tenets of our V.A.L.U.E. program: Vendor Social Compliance, Attention to Governance, Leveraging Differences, United with our Communities, and Environmental Initiatives.

Acting with integrity is at the core of everything we do at TJX. The five tenets of our corporate social responsibility program represent important initiatives that our Company has pursued for many years. I am proud of the fact that our V.A.L.U.E. program grew organically as our Company grew and as the areas of our program became more meaningful. We have always kept ethical business practices and doing the right thing for our various constituents has always been our priority. Last year's launch of the

program and this report mark the beginning of our reporting much more robustly about our efforts, on a global, consolidated basis. Our corporate social responsibility program captures the essence of The TJX Companies. Delivering value to our customers has always been our mission; we greatly value our Associates; returning value to our shareholders is a constant priority; and adding value to the communities we serve is a central pursuit. I extend my deep appreciation to the thousands of TJX Associates throughout North America and Europe who have made our efforts possible and deserve a great deal of credit and gratitude.

Sincerely,

Carol Meyrowitz Chief Executive Officer
