We’re delighted to be able to help such an important initiative and raise awareness of bowel cancer.   From such a simple approach, we'll be able to reach millions of people by placing vital reminders in their bathrooms, resulting in potentially life-saving moments. Early detection is key.   Together, let's help save lives. ❤️🚽   #BowelCancerAwareness #GetOnARoll

🏆 Extra Time for Celebration! 🏆 As the country gears up for the highly anticipated 2024 European Football Championship final, we’ve made the decision to open our stores in England an hour later on Monday 15th July, regardless of the match outcome. ⚽️ This special adjustment ensures that our hardworking colleagues can enjoy some post-match celebrations and - hopefully - revel in the national team's triumph. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿   Our CEO, Ryan McDonnell, said: "We know how much this game means to England fans, and we want to ensure that our colleagues have the chance to celebrate such a significant moment in English football history. We couldn’t achieve our goals without our colleagues, so in recognition of their hard work and dedication, this move will allow them to join in the excitement and show support for the England team, and we wish them the best of luck for the big game.” #Lidl #TeamLidl #Euros2024 #EmployeeAppreciation #FootballFever

🔋⚡ In a UK supermarket first, Lidl customers charging their electric vehicles will soon be able to pay via our rewards app, Lidl Plus. 📱 🚗   This is the latest development for our hugely popular rewards scheme and follows an investment of over £15 million into our electric vehicle charging infrastructure since 2017. We now have over 370 charging points across our stores, including 300 rapid chargers. The transition will start this summer and be rolled out nationwide by the end of the year.   Commenting on the move, our Chief Development Officer, Richard Taylor, said: “Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do at Lidl. Since we opened our first store 30 years ago, Lidl has contributed to a shift in the way that people shop for their groceries, and this is the latest example of how we’re doing just that, so that we can further enhance our customers’ shopping experience.” #EVCharging #ElectricVehicles

Pride hasn’t just been celebrated internally at Lidl, we had a great time joining the festivities with our amazing communities! Here are the brilliant activations we’ve been a part of…🌈💛   We were lucky enough to go to Birmingham Pride for the second year in a row and our first ever London Pride. Over 100 of our amazing colleagues joined the parades across both cities, enjoying rooftop views of supporters from the buses or walked alongside our friends at the NSPCC! 🚍🎉   We also partnered up with Mighty Hoopla festival in London’s Brockwell Park, a festival dedicated to inclusivity. We brought along our 360 camera, Lidl Plus glitter zone, handed out fresh fruit skewers and served slushies, with all profits going to the NSPCC. 💚   What an amazing month it’s been! #LondonPride #BirminghamPride #Celebrations

It has been a busy Pride month at Lidl GB, so we wanted to shine a light on some of the activities that have taken place! 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️   We’ve been celebrating our incredible LGBTQ+ colleagues, sharing their stories, lived experiences, and celebrating everyone's journey. One of the stories that was shared came from Andy Cole, one of our brilliant Regional Directors and how he works to foster a truly inclusive workspace where colleagues can express themselves freely and feel heard.   We didn't stop there! Wonderful Pride celebrations were held in all of our regions, including at Lidl House where colleagues received an inspiring talk by the 'Sinnerman' Paul Sinha from ITV's 'The Chase'! Paul spoke on his experience of coming out and the importance of LGBTQ+ representation.🗣️   Plus, we shared a number of tools, encouraging colleagues to learn more about the LGBTQ+ community and how we can support. We're proud members of Stonewall's 'Diversity Champions' program, and we've launched a managers guide to support transgender colleagues. 🏳️⚧️   Let's carry on keeping these conversations open and create a supportive environment for everyone! ❤️ 💙 💚 💛 💜 🧡   Stay tuned as we share more on how we celebrated Pride Month!   #Pride #Celebration #TeamLidl

TEAMWORK FOR PEOPLE AND PLANET: THAT'S WHY WE’RE WORKING TOGETHER WITH WWF 🌎 🌱 Creating more impact together: With this goal in mind, we at Lidl are now working together as part of a strategic international partnership with WWF. Building on from Lidl GB’s existing pledge - to halve the environmental impact of UK shopping baskets by 2030, as part of WWF-UK’s Retailers’ Commitment for Nature, the new international partnership will involve 31 countries. The global ecological and social challenges of our time can only be managed if we work together. That is why it is time to join forces. 💪 As one of Europe's largest food retailers and one of the world's most experienced conservation organisations, the long-term cooperation with WWF will focus on working along Lidl’s value chain, thereby helping to address the global environmental challenges of our time, ensuring that more households have access to more sustainable choices. 💚 Christoph Pohl, Chief Purchasing Officer at Lidl International, explains the reasons for the partnership: “In our role as one of the largest food retailers, we are aware of our responsibility and our influence. We take responsibility with the aim of doing business within planetary boundaries. For Lidl, sustainable management is not only a question of attitude, but also the basis for the future viability of our business model. With the support and expertise of WWF, we will now take our commitment to sustainability to the next level. We can only overcome major global challenges such as climate change and nature loss by working together. That's why we believe in strong partnerships to work together to provide more sustainable choices.” 🤝 This long-term partnership is another cornerstone of our commitment to driving sustainability as part of our international CSR strategy. Together, we are committed to responsible sourcing raw materials, combating food waste and protecting the climate and biodiversity. Comprehensive, ambitious sustainability targets across the entire retail value chain form the core of the collaboration with the aim of providing customers with more sustainable choices. ���� Join us as we achieve great goals together!

This week we celebrate both Reservist Day and Armed Forces Day. We believe in supporting veterans and reservists and in 2024 several initiatives were introduced to show our appreciation with many more to come: 👉 Our monumental signing of the Armed Forces Covenant and partnership with the CTP has led to us receiving more job applications and hires from ex-military personnel. 👉 We have been accredited with the Bronze Defence Employer Recognition Award and are setting our sights on achieving the Silver Award by the end of the year. 👉 We’ve added military events to our wellbeing calendar to recognise and celebrate them. Let's join together today to show our gratitude and support for Veterans, Armed Forces Personnel and Reservists. 👏 #ArmedForcesDay #ReservistsDay
