Environmental certification in fruit and vegetables
The company's "non-organic" fruit and vegetable suppliers have some type of recognized environmental certification.
About the data
This sub-metric is used to evaluate the metric : ""5.3 Organic and sustainable products""
With this metric, we aim to provide insight into and compare the actions and policies of the main distributors in Spain regarding the distribution and promotion of organic products and the level of pesticide residues and sustainable origin of their fruit and vegetables.
The organic products business is worth 1,000 million euros in Spain, with year-on-year growth of 25%, thanks mainly to fruit, vegetables, vegetable drinks and eggs.
Lidl is the chain with the best sales success in organic products with the highest share of the organic market, specifically 16.5 points, according to 2018 data from the consultancy firm Kantar Worldpanel. It is followed by Carrefour (14.7 points) and Aldi (12.4 points).

Methodology
In this metric it is valued that the fruit and vegetables of the evaluated supermarkets, that although they do not have organic certification, are from sustainable agriculture, according to reference accreditations such as Global GAP, Rainforest Alliance or any certification that includes the agrochemicals used and their impact on the land, the product and the workers.
Regarding the Integrated Production model and its respective seals according to the Community, which are accredited by some supermarkets, we would only consider it if it is accompanied by other sustainable agriculture certifications such as those mentioned above.
We will assign a "" YES "" to this question if:
- The company declares that it offers fruit and vegetables with sustainable agriculture accreditations (Global GAP, Rainforest Alliance or equivalent)
This information can be found in any of the following reports published on the companies' website:
- Annual memory
- Corporate Social Responsibility Report
- Sustainability Report
- Environmental Report
- Report on Carbon Footprint
- Non-Financial Information Statement (EINF)
