Case Study: ALDI achieves greater sustainability transparency with Luminous

ALDI identifies top 5 ESG issues with Luminous

The UK and Ireland division of ALDI, a major discount retailer, sought to enhance its transparency and credibility as a sustainability innovator. Their challenge was to identify their most material ESG issues and produce their first-ever sustainability report aligned with best practices. To achieve this, they partnered with the vendor Luminous.

Luminous conducted a double materiality assessment by engaging seven stakeholder groups through surveys and interviews. This process identified ALDI's top five material issues, which were then mapped to their existing strategy to structure the report. The resulting output from Luminous was a vibrant and accessible report that effectively communicates ALDI's sustainability progress and ambitions to a consumer audience, while also preparing their Ireland business for upcoming EU reporting directives.
