ALDI SOUTH GROUP
since 2025
4C
4C is an independent, stakeholder-driven, internationally recognized 3rd party certification system for the coffee and cocoa sector. It takes a holistic approach to sustainability, enabling coffee farmers in 19 countries to reach markets and participate in responsible supply chains that support better economic resilience, fair and safe working conditions, and the conservation of ecosystems and biodiversity. The 4C Code of Conduct defines clear criteria for sustainable practices across three interconnected dimensions: social, environmental, and economic.
Since 2025, the ALDI SOUTH Group has been using the 4C standard for coffee products. This partnership supports our strategy towards responsible sourcing and helps us establish sustainable and traceable coffee supply chains. Independent third-party audits ensure compliance with sustainability criteria for coffee production and processing.
