Indirect energy consumption

Electricity and district heating consumption (in MWh)1

At almost 1,119 GWh, electricity consumption is responsible for the largest share of energy demand at our sites. It increased by around 6 per cent. The increase was due to several factors, including the opening of new stores, additional marquee sales and less favourable weather conditions.

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2 (in tonnes of CO2 equivalents)

Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated on the basis of energy and fuel consumption, as well as refrigerant losses. The calculation is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol using the DEFRA emission factors or GEMIS for emissions from the sourcing of district heating. In accordance with the GHG Protocol, Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption were calculated separately for the first time in 2019 according to location-based and market-based emission factors. While the location-based method uses the factors for a specific geographical region (such as a country), a company’s individual electricity mix is used – wherever possible – for the market-based factors by way of the emissions actually generated by the energy producer. The calculation of location-based greenhouse gas emissions is based on the factors specified by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Waste generation

Amount of waste by type (in tonnes)1

The most significant proportion of the waste generated was attributable to packaging. Hazardous waste, amounting to 1,057 tonnes, only made up 0.3 per cent of the total waste volume. This includes used oil, oil filters, vehicle batteries and fluorescent tubes containing mercury. 2020 is the first year in which data was collected and reported internationally, with the exception of ALDI Poland. In previous years, the data was only collected and reported for the companies of ALDI Nord Germany.

Apprentices and twin-track degree students

Number of apprentices and twin-track degree students on the reference date 31 December

The vocational training model based on the German pattern is not used in all countries, and the data on the number of apprentices is therefore restricted to Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain. In Germany and Spain, a twin-track work/study degree course with in-service training is also offered.
