Lidl Switzerland promotes respectful collaboration and is committed to justice throughout the entire value chain - with clear standards and concrete commitment to the people behind the products. Fair trade is a central pillar of Lidl Switzerland’s sustainability strategy.
Lidl Switzerland takes responsibility: Together with Fairtrade Max Havelaar, Lidl Switzerland supports smallholder farmers and workers with stable minimum prices and premiums for local projects. Fairtrade teams assist certified operations in implementing Fairtrade standards and provide advice on farm management, sustainability, and safe working conditions. This approach strengthens not just individual businesses or families but entire communities. Thus, work translates into perspective.
The Fairtrade label is among the product labels with the highest recognition and trust values. For over three decades, Fairtrade has been influencing the rules of global trade. As the leading organization of the global fair trade movement, Fairtrade supports companies and connects producers with consumers. The Fairtrade standards, with concrete requirements across the entire supply chains, provide the framework for certification. They encompass social, economic, and ecological criteria aimed at leveling the playing field in global trade and creating fair food systems for future generations.
