Our goal is to combine superior quality with environmental sustainability and social responsibility
Every week we surprise our customers with between 40 and 80 products in our weekly promotions. In doing so, we place around 5,000 products on our supermarket shelves, in our shops and in our online shop every year. We are committed to offering our customers the most sustainable products possible, combining superior quality with environmentally sustainable and socially responsible production. It is this goal that drives us as we put together our product ranges, design our products and select our materials.
We look at the entire life cycle of a product

Our motivation
If we, a major consumer goods company, can successfully embed sustainable practices within our product ranges, then these practices will increasingly become a normal part of everyday life. Sustainability will cease to be the exception and will instead become a viable option for everyone.
