Lidl GB

We are officially the first discount grocery retailer to achieve The Menopause Friendly Accreditation from our partners Henpicked: Menopause in the Workplace. The Menopause Friendly Accreditation recognises high standards and proven practices that embrace menopause in the workplace. For this industry-recognised accreditation we were assessed on our effectiveness in culture, policies, and practices, training, engagement and working environment. We are committed to supporting our colleagues through menopause and have introduced Menopause Champions in every region and at Head Office to help with this. We’ve also established a community group and have resources on the wellbeing hub, including clear guidance for line managers to navigate menopause-related issues within their teams. #WorldMenopauseDay #MenopauseAccredited #Wellbeing #Womenshealth

Big news! Last night we took home Bronze in the MSC UK Supermarket of the year category 🥉 But that’s not all 🏆 We were also named the MSC UK Marketing Champion of the Year 2024! This recognition from the Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) highlights our commitment to championing MSC sustainably certified wild-caught fish. A quick look back: 🐟 We’ve previously won the MSC UK Mid-Size Retailer of the Year Award seven times in a row! 🎣 In 2021, we were honoured with the ASC UK Retailer Awards for leading with the highest percentage of certified farmed products. What’s next? We continue to be committed to responsibly sourced seafood across our range – whether fresh, frozen or tinned. Sourcing from MSC sustainably certified fisheries isn’t just a tick box exercise for us. It’s core to our mission of delivering a future that’s better for the planet, better for you, and better for everyone 👊 #MSCAwards #Sustainability #ResponsibleSourcing #SustainableSeafood

🌍 Our mission: Net-zero by 2050 🌍 At Lidl, we are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050 - across all Lidl countries and along our entire value chain. In doing so, we are making a significant contribution to protecting our planet. What we’re doing here at Lidl GB: ⬇️  🔋 Renewable energy: We purchase 100%* of the electricity we use from renewable sources since 2022. 🚛 Sustainable logistics: We’re proudly working towards reducing emissions in our logistics, with over a quarter of our delivery fleet now powered by biogas. ♻️ Circular economy: As part of the Schwarz Group's REset Plastic strategy, we are committed to closed loops and the conscious use of resources. We’re proud to package our products with circularity in mind – 95% of our packaging can now be recycled, reused, refilled, or renewed, and we’re working towards 100%. 🌱 Supplier engagement: We work closely with our suppliers who are responsible for 75% of product-related emissions, supporting them in setting themselves a climate target by 2026 in accordance with the criteria of the Science Based Targets Initiative. 🚜 Promoting sustainable farming practices: We’re working with one of our main beef suppliers, Dunbia, to reduce emissions from our supply chain by 28% per tonne of product by 2030. To support this goal, we’ve also launched the Sustainable Beef Group, which helps farmers adopt greener practices and offers financial rewards for reducing carbon emissions. At Lidl, we firmly believe that we have a responsibility for the environment. On the road to tomorrow, we can only make a difference together. Join us on our journey to net-zero by 2050 and share your ideas on how we can become even stronger together. 🌿💚 Visit our website to find more about the specifics of our targets: https://lnkd.in/dJq2BQ-J #Sustainability #Environment #Teamlidl #NetZero *With the exception of supply contracts that cannot be influenced by Lidl. For example, individual rental properties with electricity supply commitments.
