Aldi is rolling out its partnership with the world’s largest surplus food platform, Too Good To Go, across all of its 990 UK stores.
Following a successful trial last year, the UK’s fastest-growing supermarket is now offering surplus food bags available nationwide, in a bid to tackle food waste while also offering even lower prices to customers.
Aldi is looking to recruit over 500 new apprentices across the UK this year. It marks the UK’s fourth-largest supermarket’s biggest ever apprenticeship intake, with opportunities in Stores, Logistics and Buying, as well as for HGV drivers.
Aldi has officially donated 30 million meals to good causes since launching its food donations initiative in 2019.
In partnership with community giving platform Neighbourly, all of the supermarket’s 990 UK stores are partnered with foodbanks, charities and community groups across the country, who receive surplus food year-round.
Aldi has stepped up support for cost-conscious customers with the development of its budgeting advice hub.
Aldi’s ‘Amazing Savings’ page now offers customers access to a wide range of hints, tips and hacks, as well as numerous budget-friendly recipes.
Excess stock from Aldi’s network of Regional Distribution Centres is to be made available to Community Shop stores across the UK after the supermarket extended its partnership with Company Shop Group.
The supermarket has confirmed that all its Regional Distribution Centres will now help redistribute surplus food that cannot be sold in its stores.
Aldi is set to become the first supermarket member of the Podback recycling scheme, helping customers to recycle their used coffee, tea and hot chocolate pods.
As part of its membership, the supermarket will introduce its own-label pods into the Podback scheme in an industry first, whilst also helping to promote the free recycling service to shoppers throughout the country in over 980 stores.
