#ALDIresponsible | New timber construction method protects the climate and saves costs   The ALDI Nord Group relies on building new, free-standing and reusable stores with wood. This type of construction saves around 120 tons of CO2 per building project*. In France and Germany, around 80 ALDI stores of this type are already open or under construction. Since the opening of the first timber construction store in Germany in 2020, the number is growing.      ♻ 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗰𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘀𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗿𝗲𝘂𝘀𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆   When it comes to building, the ALDI Nord Group relies on its proven values: simple, responsible and reliable. As an environmentally sustainable material, wood is a perfect fit. It is easier and quicker to assemble, saving around four weeks of construction time thanks to prefabricated elements that are assembled on site. This allows the entire structure and wall elements to be reused. Timber components can be dismantled without damage and easily reused in another building. This is good for the environment and saves money over the entire lifetime of the store.    🌳 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗯𝘂𝗶𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴  Building with wood not only conserves resources, it is renewable, durable and provides a healthy indoor environment. It also protects the climate by using significantly less energy than other building materials such as brick, steel or cement. How is this possible? Using wood as a building material reduces greenhouse gases in the atmosphere because wood products are CO2 sinks. What does this mean? They store the carbon that the tree from which they were made took out of the atmosphere. The usage of a timber construction is part of our CO2 reduction strategy, which includes: avoid the usage of fossil energy sources, the use of PV panels on the roof, the use of natural refrigerants and LED lighting in combination with an energy management system.    *compared to a solid construction store #aldinordgroup #sustainability #construction #wood #newstore

But for one month – starting today - competition starts brewing between the ALDI Nord nations.

Whether coming with a tricot in the office, hanging the national flag in the lunchroom, attending after-work public viewing events or wearing the national colours on the way to work - all employees got ready for the championship.

#ALDIpower | Saving time with our One-Stop-Office - “A life with ALDI”  🙇 Being in the primetime of your life can be challenging – juggling a job with a family, remaining friendships and hobbies, all while trying to eat healthy and taking care of yourself. Fortunately, the ALDI Nord Group is an employer, where it is possible, to keep it all at balance. That’s what todays episode of “A life with ALDI” is all about. 💻 Daniel Laag, Business Projects Lead, knows this challenge of keeping it all aligned. Therefore, it suits him and his stage of life, that he is able to save valuable time at our ALDI Campus in Essen: “Working at our Campus is like going to a One-Stop-Shop, because it is a place, where I can combine multiple things. I work, eat healthy and delicious meals at the restaurant and workout in the fitness centre after I’m done for the day. This saves me a lot of time, so I can spend as much free time as possible with my family and my friends. Another benefit I love about working at ALDI: I’m given the chance to participate in leadership workshops and not only improve my health and my work-life-balance at the Campus, but also myself as a leader of a team.” 💙 We are happy to provide our Campus as a One-Stop-Shop for our #ALDIcrew and being able to make a work-like-balance also for people in a very busy stage of life, like for Daniel, possible. #digitalisation #career #family #campus #aldinord

#ALDInews | Celebrating 50 years of River Cola at the ALDI Nord Campus 🎉 River Cola turns 50. In the past few weeks, we spent some time celebrating our private label´s birthday at our ALDI Nord Campus in Essen. As part of this, our employees enjoyed some fun activities such as taking a picture with our XXL River Cola can or picking up a River Cola in our anniversary design at our ALDI kiosk. We say: Happy Birthday River Cola! 🥤 𝗢𝘂𝗿 𝗹𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗲𝗱𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗱𝗲𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻 To mark its 50th anniversary, River Cola is currently available in a limited edition design – as long as stocks last in our German shops. It combines the modern look of our today's River products with iconic elements of the historic packaging such as the red-blue-white waves that several customers still remember as the key element of the first River Cola. 🙌 𝗟𝗲𝘁'𝘀 𝘁𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝘆 The first River Cola was sold in our shops back in 1974 – at that time still in glass bottles. Ever since, River Cola stands for refreshing high-quality and affordable cola drinks and is one of our best known brands. But not only in Germany River Cola has a long history – also in ALDI Nederland, the traditional brand has been available since 1974, followed shortly afterwards by ALDI Belgium. Gradually, River will also be found on the shelves our other ALDI Nord countries from this summer. 🛒 𝗔𝗯𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗲 𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗲𝗹𝘀 Celebrating River Cola as one of our oldest private label products is very special for us at the ALDI Nord Group.
