HOFER AUSTRIA, ALDI SÜD GROUP
since 2021
Donau Soja
Donau Soja is a non-profit association promoting the sustainable development of European soy cultivation. It supports its partners and members in progressing change to address social, environmental and economic challenges in soya production and consumption. Donau Soja has developed two certification schemes: Donau Soja (specifically for the Danube region) and Europe Soya. Both standards ensure sustainably grown, regional, and GM-free soy.
After founding member HOFER Austria, the entire ALDI SÜD Group joined Donau Soja in 2021. Supporting the cultivation of European soy and soy alternatives is an important part of our international approach to addressing these challenges in our supply chains. Further actions include increasing transparency in our soy supply chain and the share of certified, deforestation-free soy.
