Planet Ark has announced that ALDI is the first company to join the Carbon Reduction Label program in Australia.
Planet Ark said by the end of this year, ALDI’s everyday olive oil range will feature the Carbon Reduction Label, highlighting ALDI’s ongoing commitment to the environment.
The Carbon Reduction Label informs consumers of the total carbon footprint of a product, from raw materials and manufacturing through to disposal or recycling of packaging. The label helps people understand how they can reduce their own carbon footprint and fight climate change.
“We are proud to be the first company in Australia to feature the Carbon Reduction Label, which not only helps us to improve the efficiency of our business, but also provides customers with important information allowing them to make smarter shopping decisions,” said Tom Daunt, managing director buying, ALDI.
By adopting the Carbon Reduction Label, ALDI joins an international list of major businesses that have committed to reducing the greenhouse gas emissions of products. Planet Ark brought the Carbon Reduction Label to Australia in partnership with its originators, the Carbon Trust in the UK.
The Carbon Reduction Label is now appearing in 19 countries with labelled products having annual sales of around $4.5 billion.
