ALDI is passionate about doing Good Business. From the Aussie farmers who grow our produce to the employees who stock our shelves, we’re committed to supporting our partnerships. We do this through responsible practices that foster strong and honest relationships with our business partners, buyers and team members. Good Business encompasses our efforts in supply chain management, the responsible sourcing of products and more. Continue reading to learn more about how ALDI is doing Good Business.

Aussie Farmers

Aussie Farmers

We strongly believe in supporting Australian Made products and produce. That’s why 97% of our fruit and veggies come directly from Australian farms, as well as 100% of our eggs, milk, fresh meat, fresh salmon and fresh poultry. We’re also committed to supporting our Australian farmers.

Business Partnerships

Business Partnerships

When we opened our first two stores in Sydney back in 2001, ALDI initially offered a range of 600 grocery products supplied by 174 business partners. During this first year, one of these founding business partners supplied us with two types of laundry powder, which they initially delivered on a ute containing a single pallet. Fast forward to 2018, and this same business partner was supplying 75 cleaning and personal care products across 150 varieties to every one of our stores. We have hundreds of similar stories about our wonderful partnerships. With over 1000 Australian businesses now part of our network, it’s easy to see how we’re Making a Good Difference in more ways than one.

Modern Slavery & Human Rights

Human rights are an important dimension of ALDI’s Global Sustainability Strategy, since the way we operate, purchase goods, and the business partners we choose could impact how people are treated across our operations and supply chains. As a major retailer whose supply chains touch millions of people every day, ALDI understands the importance of respecting human rights. Read more about our initiatives below.
