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).
We will "assign a" "YES" "to this question if:

- The company declares that it has participated in projects or actions to promote and consume organic products.

Some good practices collected in the large distribution sector are:

- Participation in BIO products fairs (Biocultura, Bionatura, ..).
- Elimination of VAT on fresh BIO products to make them more accessible
- Collaboration and synergies with farmers in the development of organic products
- Contest of projects and Actions in favor of organic agriculture;
- Platform for open and collaborative exchange with organic suppliers
