German discount chain Aldi, now the fourth largest grocery retailer in the UK, is to accelerate its sustainability commitments across its entire fresh produce supply chain.
The supermarket has announced that it is aiming for all its fresh produce growers in the UK to be certified by LEAF by the end of 2023. LEAF is an environmental assurance system that recognises more sustainably farmed products, based on the sustainable farming principles of Integrated Farm Management.
