Our Goal

Our goal is to make fantastic quality products available to our customers at the lowest possible price. We want our customers to enjoy the best for less.

We aim to sell products that are popular with customers, made from the best possible ingredients and represent brilliant value for money. All of these are key considerations when deciding on the products that we offer.

Acting Responsibly

Aldi is a responsible business, and we value both the trust and satisfaction of our customers. We are committed to delivering high quality products; not just in terms of safety and value, but also in terms of the social and ecological standards involved in their production. We take our responsibilities as an international retailer seriously and we are active members of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI).

Human Rights, Labour Standards, Environmental Protection and Fighting Corruption

As a member of BSCI, all of the European operations of the Aldi South Group, including our suppliers, are committed to implementing the principles of the BSCI code of conduct. This code of conduct promotes compliance with local and national legislation and specifically prohibits:

• Child labour
• Forced labour and unlawful disciplinary measures
• Discrimination of any kind
• Excessive working hours
• Poor health and safety provisions
• Non-payment of minimum wage
• Infringements on freedom of association and collective bargaining rights
• Poor environmental protection practices
• Bribery and corruption

.

Our membership of BSCI also commits us and our suppliers to the implementation of an independent social auditing programme, conducted to international standards. It is our aim to use this programme to regularly examine our social performance and, together with our suppliers, we aim to ensure that the social conditions in our supply chain adhere to the highest possible standards.

In addition to our membership of BSCI, Aldi is also committed to the following international standards:

• The fundamental principles, rights and working standards of the International Labour Organisation (ILO)
• The UN Declaration of Human Rights and the principles of the UN Global Compact
