#ALDIresponsible | The impact of photovoltaic systems at ALDI Nord ⚡    At ALDI Nord, photovoltaic (PV) systems play a significant role in our efforts to generate cost-effective energy, conserve natural resources and reduce emissions. Since 2013, we have installed around 1900 PV systems across our store rooftops and distribution centres.     🏠 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮 𝗯𝗶𝗴 𝗶𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 Our PV systems span an impressive 1.3 million square metres – roughly the size of 180 football fields. Together, they generate over 200,000 megawatt hours of electricity annually. This is enough to supply around 60,000 three-person households with electricity for a whole year.    🔋 𝗪𝗵𝘆 𝗱𝗼 𝘄𝗲 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱 𝘀𝗼 𝗺𝘂𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗶𝘁𝘆? With refrigeration and freezing equipment constantly running in our stores and distribution centres, energy demands are high. Therefore, we currently use approximately 78 per cent of the solar electricity we produce ourselves through the PV systems. The remainder is fed into the power grid or can be used for our growing charging infrastructure.     🚀 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗝𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻‘𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱 𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲! At ALDI Nord, we are dedicated to expanding our PV systems across Europe, further enhancing our ability to generate cost-effective and resource-efficient energy. Therefore, we are continuing to install our PV systems by the end of 2025. #aldinord #aldinordgroup #photovoltaic #sustainability #store #distributioncenter

#ALDIresponsible | ALDI Nord donates to support young people in Essen   At ALDI Nord, supporting disadvantaged communities is important to us. Therefore, proceeds from last year’s ALDI Nord Christmas market raffle were donated to three special social projects in Essen, Germany:   👉At the Studiobühne Essen, children and young people gain valuable practical theatre education experience, while contributing to integrative district work, and making culture accessible to all. This project was introduced by our colleague Sarah Furgol, who has been involved for many years,   👉The Children's and Family Meal Tables initiative run by Caritas Essen provides free, balanced meals to children and families in need across various districts, along with play, exercise, learning, and counselling services, including nutrition advice. This initiative was recommended by our colleague Anne Noe.   👉 The Kettino children’s circus, an annual event run by volunteers, is a core part of the Kettwig for Children association’s charitable work, offering young people from disadvantaged backgrounds a chance to participate in a unique and enriching experience. The project is special to our colleague Melina Müller, who suggested it to us. 💙 A cause close to our heart To further support these three projects, we supplemented our monetary donations with in-kind contributions such as games, painting supplies, healthy snacks and hygiene products from our private label range, ensuring each initiative received the help they need. Additionally, we donated non-cash items such as toys, paint sets, clothing and other products from our non-food range to the day care and family centre in Essen Schonnebeck – the very neighbourhood where ALDI Nord’s journey began over 110 years ago.   A heartfelt thank you to all ALDI Nord employees who supported this initiative with all their #ALDIPower! 🙌 #aldinord #aldinordgroup #donations #community #socialresponsibility

#ALDInews | ALDI Nord spreads the Christmas spirit at the Essen Christmas carol singing 🎄    🍫 Essen came together for Christmas carol singing and got into the mood for the festive season. This year, ALDI Nord took part and as a sponsor supported the “Essen singt Weihnachten”, a family carol singing event in the stadium of the football club Rot-Weiss Essen e.V.. And for even more Christmas cheer, we also provided visitors with one of the absolute classics among our private label: Our Choceur Nussbeisser.    🎤 Around 4,500 people who love to sing and also several ALDI employees met at the stadium to sing along to some Christmas classics. Our employees enjoyed the event:    "It was our first time at the Christmas carol singing in Essen and it certainly won't be our last time. It was a very successful event, especially for families." said Katharina Freund, one of the ALDI employees who joined the event.   "It was great to surprise people with our Nussbeisser! Everyone was very happy to receive a chocolate bar – you could see the joy in their faces." said Yasmina Farouni, one of the ALDI volunteers helping at the stadium.    Many thanks to all colleagues for their support in preparing and distributing the Nussbeisser! #ALDIPower 💙    #aldinordgroup #aldinord #christmascarolsinging #festiveseason
