ALDI Australia
ALDI has proudly played a significant role in the Australian community since its first store opened in 2001. Currently, ALDI is the 3rd largest supermarket retailer in Australia. ALDI’s operations improve the livelihood of local businesses, create employment opportunities and deliver high quality, permanently low priced products to Australians every day. ALDI directly employs over 13,000 people throughout our retail stores, distribution centres and corporate offices.
As a truly national business, ALDI is now serving more customers weekly than ever before. Currently, we have over 550 stores across Queensland, New South Wales, Australian Capital Territory, Victoria, Western Australia and South Australia. In addition, over the course of the year, we engage with more than 1,000 suppliers, the majority of which are Australian and have enjoyed growth and success as we have expanded.

Summary
Like any natural resource, we appreciate that what's in our oceans is a limited supply. Our fish and seafood policy means customers can support responsible fishing and farming by shopping at ALDI.
We are proud to be the Australian retailer with the largest range of MSC certified own-label fish and seafood. The MSC logo provides independent verification that the wild-caught fish in a product has come from sustainable sources. We have also been recognised as Australia's most responsible supermarket for our commitment to sourcing tuna responsibly by Greenpeace.
We continuously work with our suppliers to ensure greater traceability across our range, and to allow us to review and improve the sustainability of our seafood products. To help us do so, we have an ongoing partnership with Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP). SFP helps us to measure the sustainability of our seafood ranges, and to engage with our suppliers so we can improve fishing and farming practices throughout our supply chain.
This profile covers all wild-caught seafood sourced for Aldi Australia's own-brand seafood in 2019.
