CLIMATE PROTECTION POLICY Strategy & O bjectives 4 FOREWORD STRATEGY & OBJECTIVES CARBON FOOTPRINT MEASURES OUTLOOK ASSURANCE REPORT IMPRINT Our objectives ALDI North has set a clear climate target for itself: We undertake to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions by 40 per cent by 2021 compared to our 2015 levels, and to do so across all countries of the entire Group. This target applies to all emissions that we ourselves cause in the course of our business activities (Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions). They result above all from the operation of our stores and distribution centres, and during transport between them. We have set specific climate targets for every country in which we operate. Together, we are all working towards achieving our overall climate target by 2021. Our climate strategy has a long-term trajectory and two key focal points: • We seek to save energy, refrigerants and fuel through efficiency measures, and we are starting with those areas where consumption is greatest. By taking this step, we will not only reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, but operating costs as well. We are also reducing our refrigeration-related emissions by lowering refrigerant losses (first key focus). • We aim to draw more electricity from renewable energy sources (second key focus). This includes generating renewable electricity ourselves as well as purchasing it. To ensure that climate protection efforts are made consistently throughout the company, climate protection has to become a business variable, which is why we will be setting an internal price per tonne of CO2 over the course of 2018. The plan is to apply this price to all emissions-relevant investment decisions (please refer to “Business processes” on page 11). By taking these steps, we aim to make climate protection an integral part of our business processes. The basis: carbon footprint and trend analysis To effectively reduce our greenhouse gas emissions, we need to know where they are being generated. Our carbon footprint breaks down our greenhouse gas emissions by emission source and provides us with starting points for our climate protection measures (please refer to “Carbon footprint” on page 5). However, this alone is not enough to ensure a durable strategy. It is just as important to look at and assess future business development, since measures such as opening new stores, installing additional technical equipment or extending opening or operating hours may increase our energy needs in future − and consequently our greenhouse gas emissions. This is why we are focused on drawing more electricity from renewable energy sources, for example. The key focal points of our climate strategy First key focus Efficiency measures (energy, refrigerants, fuel) Internal CO2 price promotes efficiency measures Second key focus More electricity from renewable energy sources -40% greenhouse gas emissions by 2021 (baseline: 2015)
