We embrace our responsibility and continue to evolve – whether it concerns the sustainability of our supply chain or our commitment to society. The dialogue with our stakeholders provides us with valuable insights in this respect. Our aim is to continuously expand this dialogue, which is why the item listed as “Dialogue promotion” has been specified as its own field of action in our Corporate Responsibility (CR) Policy. In its Agenda 2030, the United Nations (UN) has also emphasised how important close cooperation among various actors is to achieving the ambitious Sustainable Development Goals. As part of initiatives and alliances, we are working together with our partners to tackle the main challenges with regard to sustainability.
[GRI 102-40, -42, -43, -44] As part of our materiality process, we regularly review which stakeholder groups are especially relevant to us. The most important stakeholders include customers, employees, non-governmental organisations (NGOs), initiatives and associations, suppliers and business partners, and members of works councils and unions. We are engaged in open and direct dialogue of growing depth with them, from which we learn a great deal. We also maintain contact with other groups, such as residents who live around our locations, in addition to members of the media and politicians.
[GRI 102-12, -13] ALDI North engages in dialogue both nationally and internationally with various organisations, initiatives and alliances. Our efforts differ in each case depending on the issue and range from mere membership to playing an active management role.
