Compliance

At ALDI, responsible and lawful action is our top priority in order to secure economic success and prevent damage. Compliance is therefore a fundamental component of corporate responsibility and reinforces our values: simplicity, responsibility and reliability. Appropriate compliance measures, such as regular training for our employees, are designed to ensure that all our employees act in accordance with the rules.

ALDI has set up an independent Compliance Department which is responsible for developing the compliance management system on an ongoing basis. In addition, the compliance values are embodied by the company management and infused throughout the company by regularly setting the “tone from the top”.

Code of Conduct

The Code of Conduct of the ALDI has formed the basis for compliance and serves as a guideline for all employees. It sets out the principles that we adhere to in our daily dealings with each other, customers and business partners.
