Summary of Aldi’s Corporate Responsibility Position

Acting responsibly is fundamental to the way we do business. Our primary responsibility is to our customers and for the products we sell. But acting responsibly also applies to our relationship with employees, business partners and suppliers, and the impact our operations have on the environment and communities we serve.

We believe that our most significant corporate responsibility issues are:

• The impact of our operations on the environment, including energy consumption, fuel use and waste

• Helping customers live healthy lifestyles by providing nutritional information and choice

• How we treat our employees

• The impact of our products across their life-cycle, from manufacturing to disposal

• The economic and social impacts of product sourcing on the workers and communities in our supply chain

Our Core Values

Our approach to business is based on our three core values - consistency, simplicity and responsibility.

• Consistency leads to reliability. We mean what we say. We are consistent in our dealings with people, products, price and all other aspects of our day-to-day professional life.

• Simplicity creates efficiency, clarity and clear orientation within our organisation as well as for our customers.

• Responsibility stands for our commitment towards our people, customers, partners and the environment. It also includes principles such as fairness, honesty, openness, service orientation and friendliness.

Acting With Integrity

We are committed to the highest standards of responsible behaviour and integrity in all our relationships with customers, business partners and authorities.

We promise our customers quality products at the best possible price. To us, a quality product also needs to be made responsibly. We don’t want to damage the environment or see workers treated badly as a result of the products that we choose to sell.

It’s our job to ensure that anything you buy at ALDI has been grown, caught or made with care for the environment and that the workers involved are treated fairly.
