Lidl GB has joined the United Nations Global Compact, committing to align its business operations and reporting with the UN’s principles on human rights, labour, the environment, and anti‑corruption.

Launched in 2000, the UN Global Compact is the largest corporate sustainability initiative in the world. It includes more than 20,000 companies based in over 160 countries, and more than 60 Global Compact Networks.

Matt Juden, head of sustainability at Lidl GB, said, “At Lidl GB, we believe that access to health and sustainability should be a right, not a luxury. By joining the UN Global Compact, we are committing to democratising sustainable practices across our business. We aren't just here to broadcast our progress, we are here to collectively solve some of the biggest issues facing society. This membership allows us to work alongside global peers to engineer waste out of the supply chain and secure a resilient future.”
