#ALDInews | ALDI Netherlands celebrates two years of success with the Herb-Rich Grassland project At ALDI Nord we are fully committed to innovative ways of fostering a sustainable future. Therefore, we’re excited to share the success of ALDI Nederland and the Herb-Rich Grassland project – a collaboration with FrieslandCampina and 43 Dutch dairy farmers.   🐄 When sowing the grassland, different herb mixtures are used, which provide valuable minerals and trace elements beneficial for cow health. Herb-rich grasslands attract insects and meadow birds, thereby enhancing biodiversity. After two years, this initiative is already yielding remarkable benefits for biodiversity and sustainability in the dairy farming supply chain.   🌱 Because herbs have deeper roots than grass, soil quality improves and water is better retained, making the area more resilient to extreme weather conditions. Additionally, the herb-rich grasslands require a reduced use of fertilisers, which benefits the environment and promotes balanced growth of both grass and herbs. Due to the positive impact of this initiative, some farmers have even expanded their herb-rich grassland areas.   🥛 To mark this milestone, ALDI in the Netherlands has released a special edition of our fresh milk under our private label Milsani, featuring a QR code that leads to more information about the project, including interviews with participating farmers.   Congratulations to ALDI Nederland! We’re proud of the successful progress of this project, advancing sustainability in dairy farming.   #aldinord #aldinederland #ALDIrespsonsible #sustainability #biodiversity

#ALDIresponsible | ALDI Nord donates to social projects in Essen   At ALDI Nord, supporting communities is important to us. Therefore, the proceeds from this year's summer party raffle at the ALDI Nord Campus were donated to three special social projects in Essen: The Ambulant Hospice Service at the Alfried-Krupp Hospital, the FairSorger Essen initiative and the Werkstätten Frillendorf workshop for disabled people. The donations were handed over personally to each of the social projects that were recommended by ALDI employees.   👉The hospice service at the Alfred-Krupp Hospital supports seriously ill and dying people with compassionate care, aided by around 80 volunteers, including ALDI Nord employee Adrian Geißler.   👉The FairSorger Essen e.V. is another donation recipient, providing essentials like food, clothing and hygiene items to the homeless and needy in Essen's city centre. Our colleague Minh Thu D. supports the organization on a regular basis, supplying them with in-kind donations.   👉A part of the donation also went to the Werkstätten Frillendorf of GSE GmbH near the ALDI Nord Campus in Essen, where over 500 people with disabilities are employed in a workshop. The initiative was recommended by our colleague Annika Küthe, who advocates for workplace inclusion.   Another initiative that received non-cash donations of toys from us is the VKJ Kleine Füße, a children’s home located in Essen.   💙 We extend our heartfelt thanks to all ALDI Nord employees who supported this initiative with all their #ALDIPower!   #donations #community #ALDIemployees #socialresponsibility
