At ALDI, we believe that understanding, respecting, and valuing the uniqueness of our people and customers makes us stronger. That’s why we are committed to building an inclusive culture that values diversity in all its forms. The Women’s Empowerment Principles link to our position that all businesses have a responsibility for gender equality and women’s empowerment and for addressing any form of discrimination. By signing the UN Women’s Empowerment Principles, we are publicly committing to foster practices that empower women in all areas of our business and supply chain. However, as a company, we are focused on creating a holistic strategy and have set ourselves ambitious goals to create equal opportunities for all employees, guaranteeing a culture of equality for all. Our core value of responsibility means that we treat our people, customers, and partners fairly, in the pursuit of our core purpose. As a global retailer, we strive to represent and serve the needs of the communities we operate in and improve the world we live in. Adopting the Women’s Empowerment Principles is part of our continuous journey towards upholding all human rights, women and men at work should be treated fairly and without discrimination.
