I recently read an insightful interview with Anke Ehlers, Managing Director of the International Sustainability Department at Aldi South Group. It offers a valuable opportunity to broaden your understanding and approach when tackling sustainability issues and challenges.

The Aldi South Group seems not to limit themselves to the mandatory requirements given by the various laws / directives entered into force by the EU or other regions or countries but is taking action a step further.

Intertek offers solutions to support a holistic supply chain, to learn more check out Supply Chain Assurance (intertek.com).

In addition to our assessments and risk analyses, we conduct regular field trips to the origins of our products. These visits often include multiple stakeholders, from our international sustainability team to our global buying colleagues, and sometimes non-profit organisations, so we can take a more holistic view and learn from our partners. These actions help us to understand the true needs on the ground and seek innovative, practical solutions.
