Foreword ALDI pursues the goal to eliminate the input of certain substances from the production of textiles and footwear by the year 2020. In cooperation with our business partners, public stakeholder groups, and experts from the chemical industry, we strive to develop feasible solutions. In 2016, sharing information, building knowledge, and collaborating with others were the central topics of our efforts. A major highlight was the ALDI Detox Summit held in Shanghai in November. By bringing our partners and other relevant parties together, we were able to intensify the exchange of information on the topic of Detox. Role model production facilities provided valuable insight into their approaches and best practices. Within the Market of Opportunities expo, new approaches to solutions in the different areas of Detox were presented by various international service providers. Subsequently, the different goals, challenges, and means of implementation were addressed during extensive, forward-thinking debates held within the scope of panel discussions. Never before in ALDI's history have such complex topics been addressed together with all those involved in the supply chain, including suppliers and general service providers, directly within one of our most vital sourcing regions. This exchange of information has been a successful step forward in promoting the implementation of our Detox requirements. This progress report serves as a means for ALDI North and ALDI SOUTH to publish mutual information on the activities undertaken to fulfil the Detox commitment. We use this report to explain our strategy, illustrate our goals, to document what we have achieved so far, and what we plan to achieve by 2020. The publication of this report represents a milestone for us and at the same time constitutes a starting point for the continued dialogue with our stakeholder groups.
