Our approach Our everyday decisions as responsible re- tailers have an impact on our entire supply chain. ALDI has always focussed on establish- ing close and reliable working relationships with its business partners. We assume a shared responsibility for the preservation of natural resources and we will work together in order to achieve the goal defined within this ‘International Buying Policy for Cotton’. The current version of the ‘International Buying Policy for Cotton’ forms a binding framework and requirement for ALDI and its business partners. ALDI will only collaborate with those who conduct their business in ac - cordance with our commitment to sustainable cotton sourcing. ALDI is collaborating together with other com - panies, certification schemes and other stake- holders to enhance sustainable cotton culti - vation and to improve existing systems. We welcome individual sustainability projects and initiatives undertaken and promoted by our business partners concerning the cultivation of cotton, as well as any information that they proactively publish on the measures taken and developments achieved. ALDI’s sustainable sourcing of cotton goals have been developed by the Corporate Re- sponsibility, Buying, and Quality Assurance Departments and will then be implemented in collaboration with our business partners and other relevant stakeholder groups, such as scheme owners. This ‘International Buying Policy for Cotton’ governs the purchase of own-brand products made from or containing cotton in the area of garments and household textiles. This policy and its goals constitute a binding require - ment for the tendering and buying processes. ALDI has appropriately informed its business partners involved in the production of own- brand products regarding the content and goals of the policy. This policy will be re- viewed and updated on an ongoing and regular basis. The most recent and applicable version of the ‘International Buying Policy for Cotton’ is published on the websites of ALDI SOUTH and ALDI Nord.
