Electricity and district heating consumption (in MWh)1
At almost 1,119 GWh, electricity consumption is responsible for the largest share of energy demand at our sites. It increased by around 6 per cent. The increase was due to several factors, including the opening of new stores, additional marquee sales and less favourable weather conditions.

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2 (in tonnes of CO2 equivalents)
Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated on the basis of energy and fuel consumption, as well as refrigerant losses. The calculation is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol using the DEFRA emission factors or GEMIS for emissions from the sourcing of district heating. In accordance with the GHG Protocol, Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption were calculated separately for the first time in 2019 according to location-based and market-based emission factors. While the location-based method uses the factors for a specific geographical region (such as a country), a company’s individual electricity mix is used – wherever possible – for the market-based factors by way of the emissions actually generated by the energy producer. The calculation of location-based greenhouse gas emissions is based on the factors specified by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

Amount of waste by type (in tonnes)1
The most significant proportion of the waste generated was attributable to packaging. Hazardous waste, amounting to 1,057 tonnes, only made up 0.3 per cent of the total waste volume. This includes used oil, oil filters, vehicle batteries and fluorescent tubes containing mercury. 2020 is the first year in which data was collected and reported internationally, with the exception of ALDI Poland. In previous years, the data was only collected and reported for the companies of ALDI Nord Germany.

Weight and shares of packaging waste by category in 2020 (in tonnes and per cent)
Amounts of waste in Germany proportionately by type of disposal (in per cent)1,2
At around 98 per cent, the majority of non-hazardous waste was recycled or reused in 2020.
1 The allocation to disposal types is partly based on estimates or projections.
2 The scope of data is to be expanded and internationalised in the coming years where possible.
3 Including incineration for energy recovery.
Water consumption (in cubic meters)1
The increased consumption in the countries in 2020 is due to several factors, including the opening of new stores, the maintenance and filling of sprinkler systems, major leaks, water use to comply with COVID-19 measures and outdoor watering due to heat.

1 The information regarding the legally independent companies of ALDI Belgium and ALDI Luxembourg has been combined for the purposes of a simplified presentation (refer to ‘Additional information’).
2 The value for 2019 was corrected compared to the information published in the previous year’s report.
Proportion of ALDI employees covered by collective bargaining agreements on the reference date 31 December (in per cent)1
1 The proportion of employees was calculated with the exclusion of ALDI Poland, because no collective bargaining agreements have been concluded there.
Number of apprentices and twin-track degree students on the reference date 31 December
The vocational training model based on the German pattern is not used in all countries, and the data on the number of apprentices is therefore restricted to Denmark, Germany, France, the Netherlands and Spain. In Germany and Spain, a twin-track work/study degree course with in-service training is also offered.
