We’re pleased to tell you that Aldi has published a new Human Rights Policy in response to your campaigning. This is a great start, but we need to keep the pressure up on Aldi to turn its commitment into concrete action to protect the people who produce our food.
It’s the supermarket that prides itself on being #EverydayAmazing. And although that may be true for its quality and low prices, when Oxfam scored major UK supermarkets according to their public policies and practices that prevent human suffering, Aldi came bottom.
That means Aldi doesn’t disclose what it’s doing to protect the people who produce its food.
Without the right policies and practices in place, Oxfam research shows that people can be forced to work inhumanely long hours, women farmers are at risk, and people can be paid so little that they can’t afford to feed their families or escape poverty.
This has to change. We’ve created our own take on Aldi’s Everyday Amazing ads and now we need your help to get Aldi’s attention on Facebook and Twitter. Supermarkets have the power to push for safer, fairer working conditions. The more shares and retweets, the more pressure Aldi will be under to do something about it.
It’s time this well-loved family brand did more to protect the people who produce its food.

Oxfam has analysed the human rights policies of these leading UK supermarkets and scored them on four carefully selected categories. How does your supermarket score? For our full report please click here.
This scorecard is based on supermarkets' public policies, statements, and commitments.
Reported Human Rights Allegations in the supply chain of companies can be found here: www.business-humanrights.org/barcodes.
Please note, these scores are based on information available publicly up to 9th November 2017. Any relevant changes made by the companies after this date will be considered in the second annual scorecard assessment
