ALDI SÜD GROUP
since 2026
UN Global Compact (UNGC)
Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world, with more than 20,000 companies based in over 160 countries, and more than 60 Global Compact Networks.
In 2026, the ALDI SÜD Group has renewed its commitment to the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC), reaffirming its support for advancing responsible business practices and furthering sustainable development.
Through its participation in the UN Global Compact, the ALDI SÜD Group commits to aligning its strategies, culture, and day-to-day operations with the initiative’s Ten Principles covering human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. We also intend to engage in collaborative projects that contribute to the advancement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
The ALDI SÜD Group joined the Water Resilience Coalition (WRC) in 2026. The Water Resilience Coalition is an industry-driven initiative that aims to elevate the long-term mounting crisis of global water stress to the top of the corporate agenda and to preserve the world's freshwater resources through collective action in water-stressed basins and ambitious, quantifiable commitments. The initiative was initially established under the CEO Water Mandate through a collaboration between the United Nations Global Compact and the Pacific Institute. The WRC is now a subsidiary of the Pacific Institute. Through our participation, we engage with other members on topics related to water stewardship and contribute to collaborative efforts aimed at addressing water-related challenges in priority basins.
