ALDI supports sustainability with another step: after the company’s beehive in Biatorbágy, it has now opened insect shelters in seven cities, which provide shelter for pollinating insects that contribute greatly to the pollination of flowers and are harmless to humans.

Since 2016, ALDI’s logistics and administration center in Biatorbágy has had a beehive housing five colonies of bees. The supermarket chain cooperates with the University of Sopron, and together they operate a biomonitoring system that provides data on the environmental condition of the area. The university examines the samples from the beehive and compares them with the values of samples from a control apiary. Based on this, the university formulated proposals for the environmental development of ALDI’s headquarters.
