Lidl Hellas

Lidl Hellas has been active in Greece since 1999. Today the company employs more than 6700 workers, while its network includes 230 stores and 5 state-of-the-art supply centers. It is included for the 6th consecutive year in "The Most Sustainable Companies in Greece", while for the 7th consecutive year it receives the distinction of "Top Employer" in Greece and Europe.
At Lidl Greece we are proud because we build perspective for all our stakeholders, on solid, sustainable foundations. Business ethics are a source of inspiration for our values and the chain of responsibility becomes an act of sustainable empowerment for our own people, consumers, partners.
Sustainability for us is not a simple wording, but shapes our business profile and runs horizontally through our daily life.

We are moving on the trajectory of a new sustainability strategy, which develops in three dynamic axes: "Good for the planet", "Good for people" and "Good for you" with the individual actions spread over six strategic pillars: climate protection, respect for biodiversity, conservation of resources, business law, health protection and participation in dialogue. It is a functional as well as an innovative approach that allows us to respond with best practices, at the right time, to a variety of challenges. We adapt quickly, build efficiency and remain sustainable, extroverted and beneficial to the whole.

Description

One of our main CSR pillars is Health. Consistently over the years, the company actively participates in programs supporting the communities in which it operates. Faithful to our corporate commitment to support society, we developed a new action, which combines good quality food with an energy of love and compassion.

For almost five years we support the NGO "Open Arms" mainly the preventive medicine campaigns carried out in remote areas of continental and insular areas.

This year we moved a step above our longstanding relationship. With our allies Lefteris Lazarou and Dimitris Skarmoutsos and their dreamy "cooking" journey, we grew our arms. We supported through the NGO  "Open Arms" the reconstruction of the Pediatric Hospital Kiriakou in Athens.

Specifically, as culmination of our creative collaboration those two years, we decided together with our chefs to organize a “delicious journey” and offer it to our customers. A cooking book with 100 delicious recipes by Lazarou and Skarmoutso guaranteed with the quality of Lidl products was available for our customers in order for them to cook delicious and healthy meals.

From November 16 until the end of the year we offered for free this luxurious cooking book to those customer who conducted 5 purchases of 30€ and at the same time we donated 1€ for every given cooking book, to the redevelop project of the Pediatric Hospital. We donated 120.000 € in order to regenerate the outpatient area. 

So far 200 sq.m. were regenerated while in the next two years another 400 sq.m. will be reconstructed. We will therefore actively contribute with a further support of a total investment of 600,000 €. This amount will be allocated to also provide necessary hospital equipment.
