“In 2021, we continued training Aldi colleagues on modern slavery, equipping them to spot the signs of modern slavery and report any concerns. We also rolled out modern slavery online training for our suppliers and continued with key partnerships which, for Aldi UK, included working with Unseen who run the UK Modern Slavery Helpline, and collaborating with Slave-Free Alliance, Stronger Together and the Wilberforce Institute to further strengthen our overall approach to addressing modern slavery issues.”

“A key focus in 2021 was rolling out our newly created Modern Slavery E-learning to all colleagues.”

“This year, all office colleagues, up to Director level, and all store and regional distribution centre colleagues, from Store Manager level to Director level, have been required to complete the Modern Slavery E-Learning.”

“Our Irish Buying Team, including Assistants, Managers and Buying Directors, attended an ‘Introduction to Modern Slavery’ 3-hour workshop facilitated by Stronger Together. Irish Buying Directors and Managers also attended a ‘Tackling Modern Slavery through Purchasing Practices’ 4-hour workshop facilitated by Stronger Together.”

“External in-depth training on ethical trade and human rights was provided to new starters in the UK Corporate Responsibility Team. The training covered the Ethical Trading Initiative Base Code, the United Nations Guiding Principles and how to identify human rights risks in our supply chain. We also ran modern slavery awareness training for our Logistics colleagues in April 2021.”

“Throughout the year, we continued to encourage all our suppliers to attend the Stronger Together workshop on Tackling Modern Slavery in UK Businesses. 1,768 delegates from 616 of our suppliers have completed this interactive workshop, including 344 delegates who attended one of the 2021 workshop sessions.”

The training planned for 2022 does not mention modern slavery. Hence it is not considered.
