"KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS TO MEASURE EFFECTIVENESS OF STEPS BEING TAKEN

Since our last Modern Slavery Statement was published in 2020, we have continued to improve our processes and those of our suppliers, working with a wide variety of partners and creating new initiatives to promote and ensure good working conditions in our supply chain.

Expanding our Ethical Trade Programme

In 2018, Aldi carried out an expansive and comprehensive human rights risk assessment of our supply chain, working with specialist corporate responsibility consultancy, Carnstone. The result of this was a significant expansion in 2020 of our Ethical Trade Programme, an initiative through which we help to improve working conditions at sites that we source Aldi products from.

The programme has now been extended to a number of new commodity groups, identified as high risk, including produce, fish and seafood, oils and condiments, processed produce and canned meats.

Thomson Reuters Foundation Stop Slavery Enterprise Award

In February 2020, Aldi UK won the Thomson Reuters Foundation Stop Slavery Enterprise Award in the goods and services category for our efforts in tackling modern slavery and taking positive steps to protect human rights in the supply chain.
