ALDI Stores Australia

With over 90% of Aussie households grabbing a bunch during their weekly grocery shop, it’s really no surprise that people go absolutely bananas for bananas. Fortunately, our Produce Partners at Premier Fresh Australia help us meet the demand!    Premier Fresh Australia has been supplying their premium Cavendish bananas to ALDI customers since we first opened our doors in Australia, way back in 2001. In this video, Head Grower Mark Smith talks through how they get 8.5 million kilos of banana from the farm to ALDI customers every year.     Read more about how we’ve cultivated a long and fruitful partnership here: https://lnkd.in/dNWxbdSq 

Last week Foodbank Australia released its annual Foodbank Hunger Report, providing a stark reminder of the number of households in Australia who are struggling with food insecurity.     Foodbank works closely with the entire food and grocery industry to ensure food relief is available to those who need it most. As a proud supporter of Foodbank, we are committed to supporting their mission to end hunger in Australia.    So far this year, through our food rescue efforts, donation drives and fundraising initiatives with our Business Partners, ALDI has donated more than 3.5 million meals to Foodbank to support families impacted by food insecurity.    We’re dedicated to helping Foodbank make a good difference and supporting those doing it tough.

R U OK? Day reminds us of the importance of checking in with our family, friends and colleagues – not just today, but every day. It might be a simple question or a moment in time, but it can often open the door to a meaningful chat. All ALDI team members are encouraged to make our workplace one where everyone feels supported and valued, where well-being is a priority, and where we look out for one another. If you’ve got a feeling that someone you know or care about is struggling, trust your instincts and take a moment to ask: R U OK?, be present and genuinely listen.
