1. OUR ASPIRATION We support the 17 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and want to play our part in achieving them. As part of our strategic thinking and materiality processes, we continuously evaluate our work based on the SDGs. Through participation in initiatives and through targeted actions in our supply chain, we are contributing to the achievement of the SDGs on animal welfare. It is our goal to make positive contributions to the animal welfare development. In the area of animal-based products, the SDGs call for measures that have a positive impact on the welfare of farm animals. Our aspiration is for all our private label products being produced in a sustainable manner. We consider environmental and social criteria, including animal welfare, throughout our product supply chains – from raw materials to final production. 2. OUR APPROACH The aim of ALDI Nord's animal welfare commit- ment is to further advance the level of animal welfare in the production of our goods in the defined area of application, beyond the legislative level. The health and well-being of the animals have a high priority. We would like to raise our customers and ALDI employees' awareness of animal welfare aspects through our assort- ments, transparency, activities, and proactive dialogue. Our requirements are based on the ‚Five Provisions‘ by David J. Mellor (2016): • Good nutrition: provide ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigour. • Good environment: provide shade/shelter or suitable housing, good air quality and comfortable resting areas. • Good health: prevent or rapidly diagnose and treat disease and injury, and foster good muscle tone, posture and cardiorespiratory function. • Appropriate behaviour: provide sufficient space, proper facilities, congenial company and appropriately varied conditions. • Positive mental experiences: provide safe, congenial and species-appropriate opportuni- ties to have pleasurable experiences.
