Lidl is celebrating a double victory, demonstrating its commitment to both responsible business practices and environmental sustainability. The popular retail chain has been recognized for its excellence in tax management while also making a significant impact on reducing food waste.
Tax Specialist of the Year
For the tenth time, Lidl has been awarded the prestigious "Merkúr - Tax Specialist of the Year" award. This accolade, also sometimes referred to as "Taxman of the Year," highlights the company's expertise and diligence in navigating the complexities of tax regulations. Winning this award repeatedly underscores Lidl's commitment to maintaining the highest standards of financial responsibility.
The "Merkúr" award is a testament to Lidl's dedication to accuracy and compliance in all its tax-related activities. It solidifies the retailer's reputation as a leader in the industry, not only for its competitive pricing and quality products but also for its sound financial management.
Rescuing Fruit and Vegetables
Beyond its financial achievements, Lidl is also making waves with its sustainability initiatives. The company's project focused on rescuing surplus fruits and vegetables has yielded impressive results. Thanks to the active participation of its customers, Lidl has successfully saved more than 1,700 tons of high-quality produce from going to waste.
This initiative involved organizing the rescued fruits and vegetables into approximately 600,000 crates (or containers), making them available to customers at discounted prices. This not only prevents food waste but also provides shoppers with access to affordable, nutritious options. The success of this project demonstrates Lidl's commitment to environmental responsibility and its ability to engage customers in meaningful sustainability efforts.
These two achievements highlight Lidl's multifaceted approach to business. By excelling in both financial management and sustainability, the company is setting a positive example for the retail industry and demonstrating its commitment to creating value for its customers and the environment.
It's clear that Lidl is more than just a grocery store; it's a company striving to make a positive impact on the world.
