The ALDI SOUTH Group adds avocados to ethical retail model
Avocados have become the latest product in the fresh produce department that ALDI SOUTH Group has introduced to its new responsible sourcing model. The strategy – a key part of the retailer’s commitment to build fairer and more transparent supply chains by connecting buying and corporate responsibility – was launched two ago with bananas, with pineapples being added last year.
The video was published online via Fruitnet on January 2025.
We are pleased to be the pioneer, the market leading
retailer when it comes to sustainable purchasing models and practices. However, we also understand that the positive impact on growers and supply chains around the globe will be the highest if the entire industry changes its ways of working.
We consider it our objective and responsibility to drive
this change actively and highly encourage other retailers to join us in ensuring longevity and sustainability in fresh produce supply chains.
