Electricity and district heating consumption (in MWh)1
Electricity consumption at 1,302,455 MWh is responsible for the most significant share of energy demand at our locations. It decreased by around 5 per cent. The decrease is due to electrification (heating and cooling) and energy efficiency measures. Additionally mild winter and warm autumn resulted in reduced heating.

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2 (in tonnes of CO2e)
Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated on the basis of energy and fuel consumption and 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 have been calculated separately since 2019 by 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).

1 Values may differ compared to the information published in the previous year’s report, as some changes have been made in the input data leading to changes in the emission calculation.
2 Due to the end of our business activity in Denmark, no data on remaining Scope 1 and 2 emissions in Denmark was collected in 2023. This must be taken into account when interpreting the overall results and changes in the totals for ALDI Nord compared to previous years.
3 Scope 1: emissions from direct energy consumption in buildings, fuel consumption for logistics, and refrigerant losses.
4 Scope 2: emissions from the consumption of electricity and district heating, broken down by location- and market-based emissions.
5 Emission factors for the calculation of emissions from electricity consumption have been updated from CO2 to CO2e.
6 The information about the legally independent companies of ALDI Belgium and ALDI Luxembourg has been combined for the purposes of a simplified presentation (see 'Additional information').
7 The values for 2021 and 2022 were corrected in comparison to the information published in the previous year’s report due to changes in emission factors.
8 Values for France 2021 and 2022 differ from the previous report, as no district heating emission factor was reported for France and corrections to the previous year's data were made.
1 The value for 2021 was corrected compared to the information published in the previous year’s report.
Total amount of greenhouse gas emissions for Scope 1 and 2 proportionately by source (in tonnes CO2e and per cent, based on market-based emissions)
1 The value for 2021 was corrected compared to the information published in the previous year’s report.
Savings achieved in sum of Scope 1 and 2 emissions as of 2022, compared to Scope 1 and 2 emissions in base year 2020 (in tonnes of CO2e).
We have committed to reducing our greenhouse gas emissions by 55 per cent (Scope 1 and 2) by 2030 compared to 2020. ALDI Nord is thereby clearly committed to the 1.5 degree target of the Paris Climate Agreement and we fulfil the requirements of the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), which we joined in 2020.

Amount of waste by type of waste (in tonnes)1
The most significant proportion of the waste generated was attributable to paper, board, and carton. Hazardous waste, amounting to 485 tonnes,
only made up 0.1 per cent of the total volume of waste. This includes used oil, oil filters, vehicle batteries and fluorescent tubes which contain mercury.

1 The data are partly based on estimates and extrapolations.
2 The allocation of waste is not always clearly defined and the quantities of the categories can therefore fluctuate annually.
