Lidl GB has signed WWF’s Retailers’ Commitment for Nature as it looks to work with the wildlife organisation to halve the environmental impact of the average UK shopping basket by 2030.
The retailer has joined Co-op, M&S, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and Waitrose in signing up which means that 60% of the UK retail grocery market is now committed to working with WWF towards the target.
WWF is helping the supermarkets to address their environmental impacts in the seven key areas which make up the WWF Basket. These include climate, deforestation and conversion of habitat, agricultural production, marine, diets, food waste and packaging.
As well as setting science-based net-zero targets aligned with 1.5 degrees across all scopes, Lidl has also confirmed alignment to WWF’s more recent joint retailers’ climate action that focuses on reducing supply chain emissions.
