"Training for employees
All Aldi Buying employees are trained on how to ensure suppliers uphold the ethical standards that we set. They work closely with our CR departments to monitor suppliers’ performance and intervene if any issues are found.
Since 2015, our CR team has run a number of modern slavery training sessions for employees in our Buying department. This training includes guidance on modern slavery, including relevant questions to ask and what to look for during site visits.
All new employees with buying responsibility receive one-to-one training as part of their induction, to ensure they have a thorough understanding of ethical trade issues, including modern slavery.
Training for suppliers
All suppliers are asked to attend Stronger Together workshops which are part-funded by Aldi. These sessions are led by labour rights experts and help suppliers understand what modern slavery is and how to spot warning signs. Since these workshops began in 2013, more than 500 delegates from suppliers of Aldi have attended.
We have hosted conferences with suppliers to train and educate them on ethical trade and modern slavery.
As part of our Aldi Social Assessment programme, suppliers whose sites are scheduled to receive announced visits are fully briefed on the approach and objectives of the programme before the assessments take place.
The Aldi Factory Advancement Project provides training for suppliers in Bangladesh on a range of subjects including health and safety in the workplace, ire safety, wage issues, working hours and discrimination."
