“amfori Speak for Change Supply Chain Grievance Mechanism Programme

The Aldi South Group is partnering with amfori to roll out their ‘Speak for Change’ grievance mechanism in Vietnam. By providing workers with access to a safe way to flag issues in the workplace, Aldi is upholding workers’ human rights and actively contributing to better working conditions.

This project creates a trustworthy mechanism for workers in Aldi’s food and non-food supply chains to speak up and voice concerns and complaints. We are also committed to investigating and resolving potential complaints together with our business partners.”

“Every Aldi colleague receives a copy of our Modern Slavery Policy in the Employee Handbook given to them at the start of their employment with us. It covers the definition, forms and signs of Modern Slavery, and how to report a suspected case. Concerns can be raised confidentially through the Aldi AlertLine and the Modern Slavery Helpline by Aldi employees and suppliers.”

“We are using the experience gained from the Accord system to introduce grievance processes across the high-priority areas of our supply chains in partnership with civil society and multi-stakeholder organisations such as amfori and the Issara Institute.”
