The report sets out the findings of the Human Rights Impact Assessment for the ALDI Nord Group of companies on the tea supply chain originating from the camellia sinensis plants in India, conducted by Ergon Associates. Although ALDI’s trade in tea is small compared to other product lines, the supply chain was selected as a focus for a human rights impact assessment due to the high risks previously identified and published by ALDI in 2023. India was identified as a particularly significant origin country, due to the
comparatively high volumes sourced, and known human rights risks.
