Lidl Magyarország

Since 1 January 2022 Lidl Magyarország has been buying 100% of the electricity used by its stores, logistics centres and offices from renewable sources only, by this reducing the chain’s greenhouse gas emission. Lidl’s goal isn’t simply energy use optimisation, as sustainability is also an important factor in shaping the discounter chain’s product selection.

Sustainable purchasing, circular economy

Lidl puts great emphasis on the sustainable sourcing of product ingredients with a high sustainability risk, such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil or tea. In 2021 100% of the discounter chain’s flowers, plants and Hungarian fruit and vegetables came from certified sustainable sources. Lidl is also working on the progress of the circular economy. The discounter’s objectives include making 100% of the packaging materials of private label products fully recyclable, and it also wants to make them from 25% recycled material from 2025.
