Let us know if this data was useful to you
Aldi, headquartered in the US, currently does not provide specific carbon emissions data for the most recent year, as indicated by the absence of figures in the available records. The company is a current subsidiary of ALDI, Inc., and emissions data may be cascaded from its parent organisation, ALDI Einkauf SE & Co. oHG. However, no specific reduction targets or climate commitments have been documented in the provided information. As part of its climate strategy, Aldi may align with broader industry standards and initiatives, but specific details regarding Science-Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) commitments or other reduction initiatives are not available. The lack of concrete emissions data and reduction targets suggests that Aldi is still in the process of developing its climate commitments or may rely on overarching strategies from its parent company. In summary, while Aldi is part of a larger corporate family that may have established climate initiatives, specific emissions data and reduction targets for the US operations remain unspecified.
