2020年2月24日 - 4:00PM
Zaandam, the Netherlands, February 24, 2020 – Ahold Delhaize
today announces new long-term targets for its Healthy and
Sustainable growth driver. Entering the last year of fulfilling its
2020 sustainability targets, the company has established a new set
of ambitions to inspire customers to make healthier and more
informed choices, to increase product transparency, and to
eliminate waste. “Food-related diseases and the impact of climate
change are affecting billions of people, including those in our
communities and our business. That is why we need to accelerate in
the areas where we can create the most value,” President and CEO
Frans Muller said. “As an international food retailer, we are in a
great position to help tackle these global issues together, with
our customers and with our partners in the industry and across the
supply chain, to create a healthier and more resilient food system.
I am convinced that this will make our business stronger and more
robust for the future.” The ambition focuses on: •
Healthier choices. After baselining all own-brand
products against science-based nutritional navigation systems, the
local brands of Ahold Delhaize aim to further increase sales of
healthy own-brand products to more than half of total own-brand
food sales, with a target of 51% by 2022. To achieve this, the
brands will continue their commitment to reformulate products (e.g.
less sugar, salt, fats) and to make it easier for customers to meet
their own, personal health needs. By 2025, all Ahold Delhaize
brands will provide science-based nutritional navigation systems
for customers, such as Nutri-Score and Guiding Stars, in stores and
online. • Product transparency. Ahold Delhaize and
its local brands can help customers make choices that fit their
needs, their tastes, and their values. To facilitate these choices,
the company will provide even more information about where
own-brand products are sourced, which production methods are used
and under which conditions they are produced. Building on the
company’s nearly 100% visibility and sustainability in its
own-brand seafood supply chains, it will move quickly to apply
lessons learned to its fresh fruit, vegetable, and meat supply
chains.
• Eliminating waste: Food waste: The brands of
Ahold Delhaize will continue reducing food waste1 from operations,
cutting it in half by 20302, in line with the U.N.’s Sustainable
Development Goal 12.3. This work requires balancing the reduction
of food waste with our goal to increase sales of fresh and healthy
products. To achieve this target, the brands will use more
effective replenishment systems, leverage innovative methods, such
as dynamic pricing based on sell-by date, and further expand
partnerships to repurpose unsold but safe food to relieve food
insecurity. Additionally, as a founding member of the 10x20x30 food
waste initiative, Ahold Delhaize is also partnering with 20 key
suppliers to reduce food waste throughout our supply chains.
Plastic waste: The Ahold Delhaize brands are working toward zero
plastic waste from own-brand packaging by 2025, through packaging
reduction and moving to fully recyclable, reusable, or compostable
plastics. Furthermore, 25% of own-brand plastic packaging will be
from recycled materials by 2025. Ahold Delhaize has also committed
to setting long-term, science-based targets as of February 2021 to
reduce its impact on climate change. On human rights, the company
is already conducting due diligence, following the U.N. Guiding
Principles on Business and Human Rights, to ensure our brands,
businesses, and supply chains are protecting the rights of
customers, associates and community members. Our brands are
increasing standards for the sustainability of products they sell,
while maintaining best-in-class standards for food safety and
quality. Finally, as part of our Healthy and Sustainable ambition,
the company continues to focus on improving workplace safety. Ahold
Delhaize will continue to report on the progress of its Healthy and
Sustainable ambition in its annual report and on aholddelhaize.com.
