🛒 How are ALDI Nord Group ALDI SÜD Edeka Kaufland Lidl in Germany REWE taking responsibility for environmental #sustainability? This week Questionmark has published the methodology and started research for #Superlist Environment Germany. This marks the start of the race to the top on 🌱 the protein transition  🚜 sustainable agriculture 🌎 climate plans With this research we create an incentive and a window of opportunity for supermarkets to progress in implementing sustainability measures. 🔎 Superlist is Questionmark's European multi-year research programme. It compares supermarkets' contributions to a healthy, sustainable and fair food system throughout Europe. Supermarkets, as key players in the food system, can influence #sustainability among consumers and producers through their product range, promotions, shops and policy. 🇩🇪 Questionmark is launching this research in Germany for the first time, supported by Madre Brava, Albert Schweitzer Foundation, PAN Regional Office DACH and ProVeg Deutschland, with advice from Deutsche Umwelthilfe.

Supermarkets, as key players in the food system, can influence #sustainability among consumers and producers through their product range, promotions, shops and policy. So how do German #supermarkets take responsibility for environmental sustainability? #Superlist Environment is launching in Germany to compare the contributions of ALDI Nord Group, ALDI SÜD, Edeka, Kaufland Deutschland, Lidl in Germany and REWE on  🌱 the protein transition 🚜 sustainable agriculture  🌳 climate plans Superlist is a multi-year research programme by think tank Questionmark. It compares supermarkets' contributions to a healthy, sustainable and fair food system throughout Europe. Questionmark is initiating this research project in Germany for the first time, supported by Madre Brava, Albert Schweitzer Foundation, and ProVeg Deutschland with advice from Deutsche Umwelthilfe. Superlist is also conducted in the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and the UK. Questionmark is starting data collection for this Superlist after the summer. The report and ranking are expected early 2025.

German supermarkets are among the largest food retailers in Europe. Their size, and therefore their enormous purchasing and marketing power, gives them unprecedented influence on food production and consumption. The question this raises, to us at Questionmark Foundation, is to what extent these supermarkets use their influence to make the food system more sustainable. - Are their climate goals in line with Paris and do they have adequate plans to achieve these goals? - How do these supermarkets contribute to the necessary protein transition? - To what extent do these supermarkets contribute to the development of nature-inclusive agriculture? - Do their procurement policies prevent deforestation in palm oil and soy supply chains? Questionmark Foundation will answer these questions with the Superlist Environment Germany project, announced today. With the insights derived from Superlist, we will provide German supermarkets with direction in their sustainability strategies and kick off a race to the top among them. Moreover, Superlist insights will support German civil society in substantiating their advocacy work. Superlist Germany is part of Questionmark's broader Superlist program, also being implemented in the Netherlands, Belgium and tested in Sweden and the UK.

🦗🔄🍽️ Insects, Circular Economy, and Delicious Dining That was the theme of my workshop today at the DAA Wirtschaftsakademie in Düsseldorf. Students and lecturers were greeted with the following message: By the end of this workshop - so, tonight at dinner with family and friends, you'll be able to share the following: Flies aren't just annoying - they can be incredibly practical, turning waste into food! 🔄 When flies turn scraps into food, that's called circular economy. ♻️ When flies turn food waste into edible products, that's called upcycling. 🎯 And if we as marketers can make people find flies delicious, it's because of the perfectly aligned value proposition. Moreover, you'll be able to boast that you've tasted the future and know exactly how it tastes. In our research (Research Group Business Innovation) the focus lies on value creation for the consumer.

Do you consider the impact of your food purchases?🛒 Consumers today are increasingly conscious of the environmental footprint of their purchases, driving a surge in demand for sustainability. In order to successfully establish sustainability innovations, such as unpackaged stations in supermarkets, it's essential to understand consumer demand and acceptance for these new forms of supply. 🥕 Dr. Hanna Fuhrmann-Riebel, PhD, who is part of the German project team at German Institute of Development and Sustainability (IDOS), provides insight into The SuperSustain international research project, which investigates how supermarkets can foster sustainability in both consumption and production. They aim to determine the best strategies by analysing why, how, and to what extent the largest supermarket chains in the USA, Germany, and Turkey impact the environment.🌎 Social norms and trends are influential factors that cannot be overlooked in this pursuit. Building on survey findings, they aim to collaborate with selected supermarkets to devise tailored strategies that promote sustainable consumption through direct engagement. ♻️ Curious for more?
