As part of our overarching sustainability strategy to 'make good food accessible to everyone', our vision is to ensure that our food and all our products are produced, sold and consumed in ways that benefits producers, people and the planet. As a discount retailer, Lidl sells food, non-food and near-food products sourced throughout global supply chains. We are responsible for ensuring access to safe, decent working conditions and labour standards for individuals employed throughout the entire value chain. Our aim is to bring about improvements through targeted interventions and meeting the strategic focus of ‘Good for Producers’.
