About this Report
About this Report
With this Interim Report we provide transparent information to our internal and external stakeholder groups about the sustainable progress by the ALDI North Group. The publication of the next comprehensive Sustainability Report is scheduled for 2018.
The publisher of the report is ALDI Einkauf GmbH & Co. oHG, Essen (referred to below as: ALDI Buying). The shareholders of ALDI Buying are specifically ALDI GmbH & Co. KG limited partnerships which form a group of equal subsidiaries in Germany. The foreign ALDI companies are licensees of the ALDI brand. All these legally independent companies form the ALDI North Group, which is the subject of the report. Deviations with individual performance indicators or content are indicated as necessary. ALDI Luxembourg is supplied by the Buying and the Logistics department of ALDI Belgium. Nevertheless, ALDI Belgium and ALDI Luxembourg are legally independent companies, which are regularly displayed in pooled form in the report for reasons of simplicity. The reporting period covers the time from 1 January to 31 December 2016. The editorial deadline is 31 March 2017.

Number of apprentices and students pursuing a twin-track degree course with in-service training
Number of apprentices and twin-track degree students on the reference date 31 December
The vocational training model based on the German pattern is not used in all countries and the data on the number of apprentices are therefore restricted to the countries of Denmark, Germany and France. The system used in the Netherlands and Spain is not currently included in recording the performance indicators because the vocational training models are not identical. In Germany, a twin-track degree course with in-service training is also offered.

Direct energy consumption
Direct energy consumption in buildings and logistics, broken down by country (in MWh)1
The biggest part of direct energy consumption is attributable to the use of natural gas for heat generation, and to diesel used as a fuel in logistics. Total consumption increased slightly compared with 2015. This is mainly due to increased consumption of natural gas as a result of a colder winter in some countries as well as a slight increase of fuel consumption in the logistics processes.

Indirect energy consumption
Electricity and district heating consumption (in MWh)1
Electricity consumption at nearly 940 GWh is responsible for the biggest proportion of energy consumption at our locations. An increase of around one percent meant that consumption only underwent a marginal increase compared with the previous year. The increase is due to a number of factors including extended opening hours and our stores being fitted with additional chiller shelves and baking ovens.

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2
Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2 (in metric tons of CO2 equivalents)
Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated on the basis of energy and fuel consumption, and refrigerant losses. The calculation is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol using the DEFRA emission factors or GEMIS for emissions from the sourcing of district heating. In accordance with the GHG Protocol, the calculation of the Scope 2 emissions from energy consumption was carried out separately for location-based and market-based emission factors for the first time. While the location-based method is based on the factors for certain geographic regions (such as a country), for the market-based factors, the individual electricity mix of a company based on the actual emissions of the energy producer are applied, as far as possible. The calculation of the location-based greenhouse gas emissions is based on the factors of the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Amounts of waste
Amount of waste by type of waste (in metric tons)1
The amount of waste in Germany slightly increased compared with 2015. The biggest proportion of the waste generated was attributable to packaging waste. Hazardous waste amounting to 414 metric tons only made up 0.2 percent of the total volume of waste. This includes used oil, oil filters, vehicle batteries and fluorescent tubes which contain mercury.

Water consumption
Water consumption (in cubic metres)1
The water consumption slightly increased compared with 2015 with a rise of six percent. This development is mainly due to an increase in consumption at our retail outlets (including as a result of leakages) and the occupation of new locations in Spain.
