ALDI Australia, a trusted name in grocery retail, has been operating across the country for over 20 years.
Known for its competitive pricing and unique product offerings, ALDI has also demonstrated a strong commitment to supporting higher-welfare farming practices. As part of its responsible sourcing strategy, ALDI has progressively grown its range of products that support higher-welfare standards for farm animals by increasing its range of products from RSPCA Certified farms.
ALDI’s Steps Toward Higher Welfare
As an integral pillar of its sustainability goals, ALDI introduced RSPCA Certified chicken to its product range in 2020. This move provided customers with access to higher-welfare poultry backed by a trustworthy certification, without compromising on ALDI’s core value of quality.
ALDI significantly expanded its commitment in 2023, transitioning all of its own-brand, fresh barn-raised chicken to be RSPCA Certified. This milestone has made higher-welfare chicken more widely available to Australian shoppers and reflected ALDI’s commitment to improving its animal welfare standards across its supply chain.
In 2024, ALDI further demonstrated its dedication to responsible sourcing by offering fresh whole RSPCA Approved turkey during the Christmas season – one of the busiest periods for sales. This not only supported animal welfare, but also gave customers a convenient way to support higher-welfare farming.
Looking Ahead
ALDI Australia’s continued progress in animal welfare demonstrates that affordable retail and sourcing higher-welfare products can go hand-in-hand. By working closely with trusted certification programs like RSPCA Certified, ALDI is actively contributing to supporting a future of higher-welfare farming.
