Today, on World Mental Health Day, let’s take a moment to check in with the people who make up our world – friends, family, colleagues, neighbors and teammates. A simple “are you okay?” or “how have you been lately?” can open the door to meaningful conversations. While expertise is crucial in many areas of life and work, you don't need to be an expert to start this conversation. Regular, genuine check-ins can help those around us feel seen, supported, and more likely to seek help before a crisis hits.    Whether it’s a quick text, a call, or a face-to-face chat, your connection can make all the difference for someone who might be struggling.  As life is full of ups and downs, at Ahold Delhaize, we believe that by prioritizing mental health both personally and at work, we can create a culture of psychological safety, support, and acceptance. Let’s normalize these conversations and check-in on each other not just today but on any day. Together, we can make a positive impact. 💚    #AholdDelhaize #WorldMentalHealthDay

Did you know that one-third of all food produced in the world is lost or wasted? At Ahold Delhaize, we understand the impact a global organization of our size and scope has on the planet. We work hard to accelerate decarbonization in our value chain, protect nature and biodiversity and scale circular models for packaging and unsold food.  As this Sunday marks The International Day of Awareness of Food Loss and Waste (IDAFLW), we support the global call to tackle this problem by reducing food waste across our business by 50% by 2030 compared to our 2016 baseline.    This summer we entered a partnership with The Global FoodBanking Network (GFN), an international non-profit organization dedicated to alleviating food insecurity while reducing food loss and waste. Amongst others, GFN partners with Feeding America, a nonprofit network of 200 food banks leading the effort to alleviate hunger in the United States. With Feeding America’s Food Rescue Challenge initiative, they mobilize communities and organizations to rescue quality food that would otherwise go to waste, ensuring it reaches those who need it most. In honor of IDAFLW, tune into UN Environment Programme and FAO's special event to find out how food banks can help.

Today marks nine years since the global adoption of the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Amongst other SDGs, these are three key goals which we are continuously improving across our business: 💚 SDG #3 good health and well-being  📦 SDG #12 responsible consumption and production  🌡 SDG #13 climate action    As a sign of our commitment, today we raised the SDG flag at our headquarters in Zaandam together with other organizations across the world to demonstrate our support for the goals.
