🌍 Our mission: Net-zero by 2050 🌍 At Lidl, we are reducing our greenhouse gas emissions to net-zero by 2050 - across all Lidl countries and along our entire value chain. In doing so, we are making a significant contribution to protecting our planet. What we’re doing here at Lidl GB: ⬇️  🔋 Renewable energy: We purchase 100%* of the electricity we use from renewable sources since 2022. 🚛 Sustainable logistics: We’re proudly working towards reducing emissions in our logistics, with over a quarter of our delivery fleet now powered by biogas. ♻️ Circular economy: As part of the Schwarz Group's REset Plastic strategy, we are committed to closed loops and the conscious use of resources. We’re proud to package our products with circularity in mind – 95% of our packaging can now be recycled, reused, refilled, or renewed, and we’re working towards 100%. 🌱 Supplier engagement: We work closely with our suppliers who are responsible for 75% of product-related emissions, supporting them in setting themselves a climate target by 2026 in accordance with the criteria of the Science Based Targets Initiative. 🚜 Promoting sustainable farming practices: We’re working with one of our main beef suppliers, Dunbia, to reduce emissions from our supply chain by 28% per tonne of product by 2030. To support this goal, we’ve also launched the Sustainable Beef Group, which helps farmers adopt greener practices and offers financial rewards for reducing carbon emissions. At Lidl, we firmly believe that we have a responsibility for the environment. On the road to tomorrow, we can only make a difference together. Join us on our journey to net-zero by 2050 and share your ideas on how we can become even stronger together. 🌿💚 Visit our website to find more about the specifics of our targets: https://lnkd.in/dJq2BQ-J #Sustainability #Environment #Teamlidl #NetZero *With the exception of supply contracts that cannot be influenced by Lidl. For example, individual rental properties with electricity supply commitments.

This week is National Inclusion Week. A week about celebrating inclusion and creating inclusive workplaces for everyone. 🙏 As part of our ongoing commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion (DE&I), we've been listening closely to our colleagues through focus groups and surveys. One key theme we've heard is the desire for more visible and active leadership support in advancing our DE&I efforts So, we’re excited to introduce our new DE&I Director Sponsors. At least one senior leader will now sponsor each of our six key DE&I pillars, using their lived experiences to drive these topics forward and shine a spotlight on their importance. As visible figureheads for their respective pillars, our DE&I Director Sponsors will: 👉 Act as an ally and advocate for their pillar of inclusion.   👉 Inform our strategy through their lived experiences and help us communicate DE&I consistently.   👉 Attend and support DE&I events. Thank you to all of our sponsors. #DEI #Inclusion #Leadership
