Corporate Social Responsibility at the Heart of Lidl Cyprus
Lidl Cyprus, a company that has been a part of the Cypriot community since 2010, continues to strengthen its commitment to Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) with its updated sustainable development strategy. This strategy is built on three dynamic axes: ‘Good for the planet’, ‘Good for people’, and ‘Good for you’, and encompasses six strategic pillars including climate protection and health protection.
The company’s investment programme, in line with ESG criteria, addresses international and national sustainability challenges. Lidl Cyprus focuses on impactful steps that prioritize the well-being of people and the planet, while also promoting a message of ‘a better tomorrow’ to leave a positive imprint on the country.
Environmental Initiatives and Educational Partnerships
Lidl Cyprus has partnered with the AKTI Project and Research Centre to tackle plastic pollution in marine ecosystems. This collaboration has led to educational outreach to thousands of children and significant clean-up efforts. The mind REset programme, in collaboration with Junior Achievement Cyprus, encourages students to innovate in reducing plastic use. Additionally, the company supports Let’s Do It! Cyprus in nationwide clean-up campaigns, and organizes the Sustainable Gastronomy Competition to promote sustainable culinary practices among students.
Supporting Health and Social Welfare
The company’s dedication extends to supporting health and social welfare organizations. Over a decade of support for the Cyprus Anti-Cancer Society includes covering costs for palliative care and fundraising activities. The Cyprus Red Cross benefits from Lidl Cyprus’s contributions to children’s therapy centers and crisis management programs. Furthermore, the company funds scholarships for talented youth and runs the Lidl Wellness Camp and ‘Food Academy for Children’ Programme to promote balanced nutrition and healthy living.
Commitment to Responsible Products
Under the ‘Good for You’ axis, Lidl Cyprus offers a range of responsibly designed products that align with environmental and societal well-being. The company’s CSR actions under the ‘Good for the Planet’ and ‘Good for People’ axes converge towards this goal, ensuring that its philosophy contributes to a better tomorrow for consumers.
