CORE

We are delighted to announce that Lidl Northern Ireland has been awarded CORE – The Standard for Responsible Business in Northern Ireland! As a grocery retailer, we are considered by many to be gatekeepers of the food system and now more than ever the importance of our operations is apparent. With this comes responsibility for people’s health, livelihoods and community so ensuring we keep our shelves stocked with an ever expanding quality range at market leading value is central to our success.

CORE is an award that recognises businesses that are committed to integrating corporate social responsibility into their entire operations. It allows companies to showcase their commitments and benchmark their sustainability activity.

Business Action on Climate

We are proud to be the retail sponsor of the Business Action on Climate Pledge with Business in the Community Northern Ireland. Pledging to reduce our emissions by 50% in our operations by 2030. As a sponsor, we are supporting businesses across Northern Ireland to start thinking about ways they can protect and support climate in their own operations and supply chains.

The Climate Action Pledge is a collaboration that puts Northern Ireland businesses at the forefront of action on the climate emergency. To sign up or to learn more click here.
