Focus Areas
Our Force for Good Sustainability Strategy addresses challenges and opportunities which are most material for ALDI. We defined certain focus areas where our actions can impact sustainability for climate, nature and people.
Climate
Climate change affects the environment and creates challenges across agricultural supply chains, impacting the affordability and availability of products. That is why the ALDI SÜD Group is working with suppliers and other partners to help reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in selected agricultural supply chains.

Nature
The food system depends on a healthy planet, but biodiversity loss, soil degradation, and water scarcity threaten its future. The ALDI SÜD Group works closely with its suppliers and partners to support the development of targeted landscape and watershed initiatives that help regenerate natural resources.

Human Rights
ALDI is an international discount retailer with global supply chains. We recognise our responsibility to respect human rights and supporting livelihoods throughout our sourcing activities. We fulfil this through a global due diligence approach, complemented by initiatives that seek to improve the lives of farmers and communities in key supply chains.

Healthy Nutrition
A balanced diet is important to people’s long-term health. The ALDI SÜD Group strives to make healthier diets more affordable and accessible for our customers. We are reformulating products to reduce salt, sugar, and saturated fat, and support the transition to healthier diets by expanding our range of plant‑based options.

Packaging
Packaging is an essential part of everyday life and helps to ensure that our customers receive quality products that stay fresh, are easy to handle, and are protected throughout transportation and storage. We recognise the importance of considering the environmental impacts of packaging throughout its lifecycle. The ALDI SÜD Group is working to reduce packaging, promoting more sustainable packaging solutions, and aligning with evolving packaging legislation.

Food Waste
Food waste significantly impacts the environment. Over recent years, the ALDI SÜD Group has implemented initiatives to help reduce food waste across our own operations and supply chains. As part of these efforts, we support food donations in our national ALDI markets and work on projects that seek to prevent, reduce, and repurpose surplus food throughout the value chain.

Forest Protection
The ALDI SÜD Group is dedicated to working towards helping eliminate deforestation and the land conversion of natural ecosystems from our critical supply chains. Certification, transparency, and close collaboration with our suppliers are key elements in progressing toward this commitment and supporting the protection of forest areas.

Animal Welfare
Meat, dairy, and eggs are core to the ALDI SÜD Group’s product range. Good animal welfare supports animal health and can help address key sustainability challenges. Together with our suppliers, we work towards delivering products that meet established animal welfare standards in line with the societal expectations in the countries where we do business.
