Supply Chain & Resources

Responsibly sourced fish and seafood products

Proportion of private label fish and seafood raw material volume which are MSC, ASC, GLOBALG.A.P., EU organic or BAP certified, as proportion of the total raw material volume of fish and seafood products, broken down by certification standard (in per cent). Plus, proportion of private label fish and seafood raw material volume which is sourced from Fishery Improvement Projects.

In 2023, around 66 per cent of our private label fish and seafood raw material was certified with one of the following sustainability standards: the largest portion was attributable to the MSC certification standard (around 59 per cent), followed by GLOBALG.A.P. certification (around 19 per cent), ASC certification (around 17 per cent), EU organic logo (around 5 per cent), products with BAP certification (around 0,1). Fishery Improvement Projects represent around 9 per cent of the total weight.

1 Data for Denmark will no longer be reported from 2023, as a decision was taken to withdraw from the Danish market at the end of 2022.
2
Data may differ due to changes in the calculation methodology from article-based to volume-based from 2023 onward. Fishery Improvement Projects are newly included as 'responsibly sourced’ in 2023.
3 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').
4 ALDI Denmark reports the same data for 2022 as for 2021, as a decision was taken to withdraw from the Danish market at the end of 2022.
For ALDI Poland’s main fish and seafood species herring and mackerel, the most important origin, North Atlantic fisheries, have lost their MSC status in recent years. Thus, certification quotas are at a lower level currently.

 

 

FSC®- or PEFC™-certified products

Share of private label products certified according to FSC® or PEFCTM as a proportion of the total number of private label products from the standard and special-buy product ranges with elements made of wood, board, paper, cellulose-based viscose and non-woven fabric, as well as bamboo, broken down by certification standard (in per cent)

FSC® 100, FSC® MIX and PEFCTM are considered to be certification standards. In 2023, the largest portion was attributable to FSC® MIX certification (around 48 per cent), followed by PEFCTM certification (around 39 per cent), and FSC® 100 certification (around 13 per cent).

3 ALDI Denmark reports the same data for 2022 as for 2021, as a decision was taken to withdraw from the Danish market at the end of 2022.
4 The values differ from the previous year because, due to the war in Ukraine, deliveries of sunflower/canola oil were stopped and replaced by palm oil. Due to the shortage of time, suppliers were not able to get certified for palm oil.
Deviations from the previous year are also due to different data bases.

The largest portion was attributable to Rainforest Alliance certification ( around 71 per cent), followed by Fairtrade certification (around 29 per cent) and EU organic (around 0,2 per cent).

1 The scope of data takes into account private label products containing tea (items that contain products from the tea plant, such as black and green tea) as well as private label products containing tea infusions (such as herbal and fruit tea).
2 Data for Denmark will no longer be reported from 2023, as a decision was taken to withdraw from the Danish market at the end of 2022. However, the values for Denmark are still included in the ALDI Nord Group totals for 2021 and 2022 and therefore differ from the actual totals of ALDI Nord.
3 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').
4 ALDI Denmark reports the same data for 2022 as for 2021, as a decision was taken to withdraw from the Danish market at the end of 2022.
