Lidl starts with pilot on 'Eco-Score'

Lidl is the first supermarket in the Netherlands to start with a pilot on 'Eco-Score'. With Eco-Score the ecological impact of products is calculated and displayed in a simple and transparent way on the product. The pilot starts on Monday 2 August 2021 and runs until 31 October 2021.

Labelling sustainability with Eco-Score

After the launch of Eco-Score in stores of Lidl in Berlin, the Netherlands will follow. Eco-Score is a system that labels and evaluates the ecological footprint of products. The score runs from 0 to 100, with the lowest score getting a red letter 'E' and the highest a green 'A'. This makes it comparable to the 'Nutri-Score', but then focused on sustainability. From 2 August, for three months the Eco-Score is shown on the price card of coffee and tea from Lidl. This is done per product, in total about 50 articles.

More transparency on sustainability

Eco-Score is a way for Lidl to communicate in a simple way about the ecological impact of a product. After 31 October Lidl will evaluate the result of the pilot, to determine whether its use will be continued.
