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).

This question supposes a minimum level of positioning of the company in favor of organic production and although it has certain subjectivity when considering a specific policy on the commercialization of organic products, it is intended to highlight those companies that do not even they mention these types of products in their reports.
We assign a YES to those companies that specify.
Among the 8 supermarkets evaluated until the end of 2020, all had statements of this type, except Mercadona.
We will assign a "" YES "" to this question if:
- The company declares in its reports some type of action, commitment or position with respect to organic products (describe what is its offer of bios products, its initiatives for the promotion and distribution of this type of products, etc ...).
This information can be found in any of the following reports published on the companies' website:
- Annual memory
