For Lidl, acting in compliance with the law is not only a given, it is key to the long-term success of our organization. This mindset is enshrined in our corporate principle "We comply with the applicable laws and with internal policies".
At Lidl, we systematically create awareness for compliance risks and on that basis identify the action that needs to be taken. Our Compliance Management System focuses on anti-corruption/anti-fraud, data protection, antitrust law, as well as business partner, supply chain, product, tax, accounting and HR compliance.
Code of Conduct
We endeavor to ensure that our business partners along the entire supply chain also consistently act in compliance with the law, particularly when it comes to upholding human rights and environmental standards.
Our Business Partners' Code of Conduct sets out the basic principles governing the cooperation with business partners and is available at: Code of Conduct - Lidl Deutschland
