good for our planet

A better tomorrow – FOR THE FUTURE OF THE PLANET

Our business and the products we offer on the shelves have an impact on the environment and leave traces on the planet: from the production of raw materials to their transformation, from transport to consumption and final disposal.

It is from this awareness that comes our responsibility to reduce the impact of our activities on the planet. Only in this way can we continue to offer our customers a responsible assortment and maintain our commitment to sustainability.

Through resource-friendly use, the implementation of measures to preserve ecosystems and protect the climate along the entire value chain, we make our concrete contribution to environmental protection.

We place our focus on these topics

Respecting biodiversity

Respecting biodiversity

The variety of animal and plant species is a prerequisite for functioning ecosystems. By protecting biodiversity, we are promoting clean air, pure water and fertile soils, which are essential if we want to be able to keep our products on the shelves.

OUR COMMITMENT TO THE PLANET

REset Plastic

Established in 2018, the REset Plastic strategy is a big step towards a world without waste. Its all-round approach ranges from non-use, to design, recycling and disposal, up to innovation and awareness. This reduces the use of plastic and creates closed cycles.

GlobalG.A.P. Biodiversity

Lidl is developing the first certification for biodiversity-friendly conventional agricultural practices. Our aim is to make conventional agriculture more biodiversity-friendly.

PROCACAO

With the PROCACAO agricultural school initiated in 2012, we are committed to fairer and more sustainable cocoa cultivation. As a successful project, PROCACAO was transferred to independent administration in 2019 after eight years of funding. To date, 18.000 cocoa farmers and their families have benefited from the project. More about this here.

Lidl Detox Commitment

Lidl Detox Commitment

In December 2014 Lidl was the first food retailer to take part in Greenpeace’s Detox Campaign. Lidl has the aim of completely eliminating the use of 11 chemical groups, which Greenpeace has defined as forbidden, in the production of its own textile and shoe brands by 2020, or replacing them with safe substances. Here you can access Lidl’s Detox Report 2020.

Fresh water

For Lidl, clean water is not a challenge for the future; we are already acting now to protect this vital resource. Lidl is aware of its responsibility and therefore considers the use of water across the entire value chain. Lidl would also like to sensitize its customers to the topic of water and shows how everyone can contribute to saving water.
