The world is changing—and we are evolving with it. As an international retail company, we see it as our responsibility to make the right decisions today for tomorrow. Our CSR strategy provides clear direction. It combines measurable milestones with concrete action—guiding us step by step along a well-founded path.
Tomorrow doesn’t start someday—it starts today. The major challenges of our time are already a reality: the climate crisis is intensifying, natural resources are becoming scarcer, and social inequalities are increasing. For Lidl, this means one thing: we take responsibility for our actions. Our answer is a CSR strategy designed to deliver real impact—for our customers, our partners, our employees and the ecosystems along our value chain. We have already achieved a great deal. And with clear targets and growing ambition, we are working to achieve even more.
Our international sustainability report shows how we take responsibility and achieve measurable results. Find detailed information and concrete figures on all fields of action here as a PDF download.
For us, economic success and responsible action go hand in hand. That is why we see corporate responsibility as a strategic mandate: with clear principles for due diligence and their firm integration throughout the company, we are already fulfilling our responsibility for tomorrow today.
Responsibility is demonstrated in everyday actions. At Lidl, we focus on five key areas where we are setting the course for tomorrow today: protecting the climate, conserving resources, preserving biodiversity, promoting health and acting fairly. These form the core of our commitment. In each of these areas, we implement concrete measures—day by day, step by step, on the path to tomorrow. One principle guides us throughout: real progress can only be achieved together. That is why we actively engage in dialogue—with employees, suppliers, partners and stakeholders across society. In doing so, we create transparency, build trust and develop solutions.
