Lidl Hellas has been active in Greece since 1999. Today the company employs more than 6700 workers, while its network includes 234 stores and 5 state-of-the-art supply centers. It is included for the 9th consecutive year in "The Most Sustainable Companies in Greece", while for the 10th consecutive year it receives the distinction of "Top Employer" in Greece and Europe.
At Lidl Greece we are proud because we build perspective for all our stakeholders, on solid, sustainable foundations. Business ethics are a source of inspiration for our values and the chain of responsibility becomes an act of sustainable empowerment for our own people, consumers, partners.
For us, financial success and responsible action go hand in hand. That is why we view corporate responsibility as a strategic mandate: with clear principles of due diligence and their consistent integration throughout the entire company, we are already fulfilling our responsibility for tomorrow.
At Lidl, we focus on five key areas where we are laying the groundwork for tomorrow, starting today: climate protection, resource conservation, biodiversity preservation, health promotion, and ethical business practices.
Corporate responsibility is directly integrated into business operations through binding principles of due diligence and transparent corporate governance and is guided by measurable milestones, clear objectives, and ongoing dialogue with stakeholders throughout the supply chain.
Our goal is to help providing the right environment of residence or examination areas of children patients and to create a pleasant and safe environment for children.

Support of all our fellow human beings, especially children.
November - December 2015.
One of our main CSR pillars is Health. Consistently over the years, the company actively participates in programs supporting the communities in which it operates. Faithful to our corporate commitment to support society, we developed a new action, which combines good quality food with an energy of love and compassion.
For almost five years we support the NGO "Open Arms" mainly the preventive medicine campaigns carried out in remote areas of continental and insular areas.
This year we moved a step above our longstanding relationship. With our allies Lefteris Lazarou and Dimitris Skarmoutsos and their dreamy "cooking" journey, we grew our arms. We supported through the NGO "Open Arms" the reconstruction of the Pediatric Hospital Kiriakou in Athens.
Specifically, as culmination of our creative collaboration those two years, we decided together with our chefs to organize a “delicious journey” and offer it to our customers. A cooking book with 100 delicious recipes by Lazarou and Skarmoutso guaranteed with the quality of Lidl products was available for our customers in order for them to cook delicious and healthy meals.
From November 16 until the end of the year we offered for free this luxurious cooking book to those customer who conducted 5 purchases of 30€ and at the same time we donated 1€ for every given cooking book, to the redevelop project of the Pediatric Hospital. We donated 120.000 € in order to regenerate the outpatient area.
So far 200 sq.m. were regenerated while in the next two years another 400 sq.m. will be reconstructed. We will therefore actively contribute with a further support of a total investment of 600,000 €. This amount will be allocated to also provide necessary hospital equipment.
