At Aldi, we’re proud to support British

A Cut Above

At Aldi, we believe that our longstanding relationships with our British suppliers are at the heart of our success. As of today, we have signed long-term supplier agreements worth £5billion, because we are proud to work with so many British farmers.

Together with our supplier Warrendale, we have created an exclusive, integrated British Wagyu supplychain that is the largest integrated beef supply chain in the UK. It has even been recognised by the Compassion in World Farming with a gold ‘Good Calf’ award!

In 2015, we became the first retailer to sign up to the National Farmers Union's (NFU's) Fruit and Veg Pledge. We think that's pretty amazing. It means that we have committed to:

• Build long-term relationships with growers that offer greater certainty and stability.
• Honour agreements and contract terms.
• Commit to buying seasonal British fruit and veg. Aldi is already an industry leader with more than 40% of fresh produce sold being British.

"Aldi's Response to our pledge clearly details the integrity, honesty and openness of its business, and highlights its commitment to long-term supply relationships, equitable distribution of reward along the supply chain and fair respectful trading relationships."

- Guy Poskitt, Past NFU Horticulture Chairman

In 2018, Aldi also became the first retailer to sign up to the NFU Plants & Flowers Pledge.

• This pledge ensures that plant and flower suppliers are covered by the principle of the Groceries Supply Code of Practice (GSCOP) in the same way as fresh produce suppliers.
• It also sets out best practice for managing promotions, the need for longer term agreements, and challenges the industry to increase the proportion of British plants and flowers available for consumers to buy.
• Aldi has made further commitments that growers will not be charged for promotions, customer complaints, missed or late deliveries, and that there will be no retrospective changes to cost pricing due to market retail activity.

"We have a plentiful source of local, seasonal plants and flowers that are ready to be utilised and a network of growers keen to provide more for the public. We're delighted to welcome Aldi as the first retailer to sign up to the pledge and commit to increasing the proportion of British grown plants and flowers it sells each year."
