As we celebrate #WorldMenopauseDay, we're delighted to announce that Lidl has become the first company in Ireland to receive Gold Level Menopause Workplace Excellence Accreditation from The Menopause Hub Academy recognising our commitment to menopause awareness in our organisation. In addition to the accreditation, we're like to congratulate Lee O’Donoghue, our Store Manager in Lidl Castlerea, Co Roscommon who was awarded the inaugural ‘Male Allyship’ at the second Menopause Workplace Excellence Awards last week 🎉 Over the past three years, we have worked closely with The Menopause Hub Academy to create distinct ways of sharing, educating, supporting their employees about menopause so that women can continue to work, live and enjoy their lives to the full. We recognise our responsibility as an employer to those going through the menopause to freely discuss their symptoms and request accommodations without fear of judgment, so we’ve invested heavily in training and support programmes and initiatives to better support managers and all employees. This included introducing a menopause buddy programme to encourage regular, open communication amongst colleagues; revised policies and support guides; free consultations with Menopause Hub specialists; regular educational sessions for all employees and in focus themed content distributed to employees through Lidl’s various internal channels. Our aim is to ensure that everyone feels comfortable and supported and we tailor our approach to meet individual needs. It's fantastic to be recognised this week for all we have achieved to date, but we’re not done yet. We have to keep the conversation going and advocate for a new norm in workplaces, developing compassionate leaders. #WeAreLidl

We are proud to be the first retailer in Ireland to hit 100 million DRS returns, processing almost a fifth of the country's total DRS bottle and can recycling through our 180 stores nationwide. As the first retailer to launch a DRS trial back in 2021 at our stores in Glenageary in Dublin and Claremorris in Mayo, we have prioritised providing a customer-centric experience so that everyone can come to a Lidl store and be confident in using the reverse vending machines to claim back their deposits in an accessible, quick and easy way.  We are delighted to lead the retail sector in contributing significantly to Ireland’s sustainability targets and to reach the 100 million containers returned milestone after just seven months of the scheme being live.
