SUSTAINABILITY

At ALDI, we want to make sustainability affordable for our customers...

...and the sustainability department is right at the centre of that ambition.

With proficient product management skills and sustainable supply chain management, we work to ensure all our customers can shop responsibly, whether it’s for food or anything else they need.

"We know where our products are coming from and ensure that they're coming from a place that is fair and everyone along the supply chain is being treated fairly."

OUR DEPARTMENTS

HUMAN RIGHTS

We are committed to upholding human rights and improving living and working conditions wherever our supply chain goes. We partner with organizations including suppliers, manufacturers, retailers, governments, and NGOs to put our significant buying power to good use and advance the lives of workers and their families.

RESOURCE EFFICIENCY

Sustainable buying practices are a fundamental part of our business. Working on continuously improving the transparency of our global supply chains, enables us to source more products more sustainably, upping efficiency, increasing the circularity of our packaging, and making excess waste a thing of the past.

ZERO CARBON

We know our business can have a significant impact on our world – so we want to ensure it’s a good one. The Zero Carbon team works to minimize the environmental footprint of our corporate and supply chain activities, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, promoting climate protection projects, and leaving a positive legacy.

STRATEGY, REPORTING & COMMUNICATIONS

We have to understand the risks and weigh up the different information sources and perspectives available to help our organization make clear-sighted decisions when it comes to our impact on the world. This involves a range of teams working as one: including legislation, reporting, business process optimization, IT and data analytics and communication.

Want to make the world a better and more sustainable place? So do we.

Our daily routines are characterized by endless opportunities to develop strategies, implement sustainability projects in our sourcing countries, and engage with colleagues from other departments and ALDI countries to implement our global sustainability policies. You will have the chance to work at the heart of a global organization, bring in your product management skills and business process optimization expertise, and use your own values to deliver change and create a better business.

You can be working on advancing the reusability of our chocolates’ packaging, optimizing the value chain of our cashews, or cooperating with suppliers to reduce their carbon emissions.
