Sustainability- Engaging in Dialogue

A better tomorrow – driving changes together

Starting from our suppliers, through our customers to our collaborators: as a leading company in the field of large-scale distribution, we come into contact with many stakeholders. The exchange of information with such interest groups is a central factor for us, so we can offer our knowledge and best practices, learning from each other. We are convinced that only by working together will we be able to face future challenges and improve every day.

At Lidl, we engage in a continuous and transparent dialogue with all our stakeholders with a view to continuous improvement.

Good to know

The food trade is by its very nature a link between producers and consumers. The European Union’s agri-food supply chain guarantees the security of food supply to over 400 million citizens: occupying this position allows us to contribute to the production and more responsible consumption of everyday products.
