Lidl Hellas was distinguished for the second consecutive year with the highest “Platinum” tier in the Corporate Responsibility Index CR Index, confirming its commitment to sustainable development and responsible business operation.
According to the relevant press release, the distinction constitutes recognition of the company’s performance in the areas of environment, society and corporate governance (ESG), as well as of the long-term strategy it implements with sustainability, innovation and people at its core
The official award ceremony took place on Wednesday, 1 July, in the context of the CR Index Awards 2026. The institution, which is organized for the 18th consecutive year by the Corporate Responsibility Institute (Corporate Responsibility Institute - CRI) , is the most important evaluation tool and point of reference for the comparative highlighting of companies’ performance in four main pillars: Society, the Environment, Employees and the Market.
Lidl Hellas participates in the institution and has been consistently recognized since 2018 for the performance of its strategy in corporate social responsibility and sustainability. The evaluation is carried out based on 100 strict international criteria, which are now prerequisites in the most important ESG indices worldwide.
The Platinum distinction is the seal of a comprehensive, long-term strategy that integrates sustainability into the core of Lidl Hellas’ business operation. At the same time, as a leading strategic tool, it provides detailed data and comparison by sector, contributing to the continuous improvement of the company’s ESG Ratings, a fact that strengthens its credibility towards investors, banks and other financial organizations.
“Maintaining the Platinum distinction in the CR Index for the second consecutive year is a great confirmation of our strategic choice to place sustainable development at the core of every business decision we make.
Since 2020, we have participated consistently in this demanding evaluation, proving that for Lidl Hellas responsibility is not translated into fragmented actions, but into a continuous, measurable commitment towards our people, society, the environment and the market. This success belongs to our entire team, which every day puts into practice our vision for a more sustainable and fair tomorrow”., stated Vasiliki Adamidou, Director of Corporate Affairs & Sustainability of Lidl Hellas.
With a steady orientation towards a more sustainable future, Lidl Hellas continues to invest daily in practices that create added value for people, society and the planet.
