At a time when nutrition is not just an individual choice, but a collective challenge, in the wake of the Delphi Economic Forum X, Lidl Greece presented its strategic vision of a dietary model that balances the needs of man and the planet.
Speaking on the issue, Vassiliki Adamidou, Lidl Greece’s Corporate Affairs Director, presented a comprehensive strategy for the transition to a more responsible and sustainable nutritional system. As he underlined, “nutrition is today one of the most important sustainability pillars – not only because of the impact on the environment, but also as a lever for social justice and public health.”
The global food system is responsible for almost 30% of total greenhouse gas emissions, while over -consumption of industrial foods, rich in sugar, fat and salt, is linked to the launch of chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes.
Lidl Greece responds to this challenge with specific commitments:
• Increase of herbal products by 20% to 2030
• Reduce addition of sugar and salt by 20% to 2025
• Transparency and guidance of consumer through WWF Evaluation Tools
• Food safety and high quality standards at every stage of the productive chain
• Interruption of unhealthy products to children As early as 2023
Particularly important is Lidl Greece’s choice to gradually align its overall product offer with its authorities Planetary health diet – A scientific framework proposing a healthy diet for humans and sustainable to the planet.
Lidl Greece confirms that sustainability is not just a strategic choice, but a moral commitment. It is based on science, transparency and social footprint. And it invites everyone – Politics, Consumers, Institutions – to contribute to this transformation.
Because in the end, what we choose to put on our plate determines what future we will have on our table.
Vassiliki Adamidou statement – Corporate Affairs & Sustainability Director, Lidl Greece
“Our participation in the Delphi Economic Forum X was an opportunity to highlight the decisive role that nutrition today has – not only for our health but also for the future of the planet.
In Lidl Greece we believe that sustainable and healthy diet cannot be a few. It is a right of all. That is why we are committed to redefining our strategy, aligning the range of our products with the principles of the planetary health diet.
We do not have the luxury of inactivity. We have the responsibility to act now – with scientifically documented choices, with transparency, with respect to future generations. For a diet healthier, fairer, more viable. “
