Global Sustainability Strategy
ALDI’s Global Sustainability Strategy (GSS) with its six strategic dimensions has been designed to embed sustainability into the whole business.
Human Rights
The way we operate, purchase goods, and the business partners we choose can impact human rights in our own operations and supply chains. Human and environmental rights are non-negotiable and we want them embedded into the core of our business.
Climate, Agriculture, and Sustainable Products
Our business is connected to many global food systems, and we have made environmental stewardship one of the cornerstones of our Global Sustainability Strategy. At ALDI, we are working towards net-zero by reducing carbon emissions in our own operations and along our supply chains.
Animal Welfare
Meat, dairy and eggs are some of the core products sold by the ALDI SOUTH Group, which is why we are committed to delivering better animal welfare standards across our markets.
Healthy Nutrition
At ALDI, we are determined to make healthy nutrition affordable by offering a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables, and foods that suit a whole range of special diets.
Food Waste
Food waste is generated across the ALDI SOUTH Group’s supply chains. We are focusing our actions on internal operations and business practices because this is where we can have the most significant and immediate impact.
Circularity and Sustainable Packaging
The ALDI SOUTH Group has set ambitious goals to increase the material efficiency and circularity of own-brand product packaging. We are taking an end-to-end approach to sell more products that support a circular economy.
