ALDI South has set ambitious climate commitments. The ALDI SOUTH Group commits to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050, as validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).

Near-term targets include:

• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 52% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 30.3% by 2030 from a 2022 base year.

Long-term targets include:

• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2035 from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2022 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 1 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by 2050 from a 2021 base year.
• An absolute reduction of Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 72% by 2050 from a 2022 base year.

The company is also committed to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025. These targets, verified by SBTi, are consistent with reductions required to keep global warming to 1.5°C.
