Remediation & Grievance Mechanisms ALDI takes all incidences and allegations seriously, whether reported by ALDI employees, workers, third-party auditors, business partners, civil society, media, or other stakeholders. We are committed to taking remediation action in accordance with international standards. We work closely with our business partners to remedy adverse impacts that are directly linked to our operations and products. We are com- mitted to not precluding access to state-based judicial and non-judicial mechanisms. ALDI recognises the need for workers to have access to grievance mechanisms consistent with the UN Guiding Principles. Grievance mecha- nisms provide a suitable means of identifying adverse impacts and risks. For this reason, we have created grievance mechanism processes for the ALDI employees and business partners. However, we have identified challenges with im - plementing a grievance mechanism in countries where the products we offer are manufactured. We intend to address this challenge by partnering with civil society and industry stakeholders to build up grievance mechanisms in our high-prio- rity supply chains. developments and regularly reviews and appro- ves measures on key human rights issues.
