We're raising the steaks for sustainable beef. 🥩   As part of a market-leading programme, we’re partnering with British beef suppliers whilst also injecting £1.5 billion into the British beef industry over the next five years, as part of our wider commitment to sourcing 100% fresh British beef. Here’s how we’re making that difference:   ♻ Launched our Sustainable Beef Group to support farmers transitioning to sustainable practices, financially rewarding them for achieving a reduction in carbon intensity, alongside adopting regenerative farming techniques to improve grazing management, biodiversity, and soil and water quality parameters that are unique to each farm. ♻ Partnered with Promar, an independent agricultural and sustainability consultancy, to assess the carbon footprint of hundreds of farms, tailoring advice to reduce carbon emissions and support the sustainable growth of their businesses. ♻ Set ambitious targets in collaboration with our supplier, Dunbia, which will see it reduce scope 3 emissions intensity by 28% per tonne of finished product, by 2030. This supports our wider scope 3 science-aligned climate targets.   Richard Bourns, our Chief Commercial Officer, said: “As one of the largest buyers of British beef, we recognise our responsibility to support farmers adopt sustainable practices. This market-leading programme underpins our long-term commitment to buying 100% British, whilst investing significantly in sustainable practices that exceed industry standards. It ensures our customers can continue to enjoy the best in high-quality, sustainably sourced British beef at the lowest possible prices."   #SustainableBeef #BritishAgriculture #CarbonEmissions

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
