About Lidl

Since 2010, we have been a reliable partner for those looking for a simple and uncomplicated shopping experience and the place to go for everyday products.

Combining values and success

As an international company, we have a responsibility – not only an economic objective. Simplicity and customer focus, responsible use of resources, and respectful treatment of customers, employees, and business partners are what guide our daily actions. These values are defined in our corporate and leadership principles as well as our codes of conduct.

In our everyday work, we assume economic, social, and environmental responsibility. Lidl Cyprus was, for example, awarded for 7th time as “Employer of the Year” as well in Europe by the independent “Top Employers” Foundation.

All of our employees – whether in the national headquarters, the logistic center in , or the stores – are united by their shared values and their aspiration to make Lidl Cyprus better every day. More about our corporate principles here.

We offer our employees short decision paths and a promising business model. Trusting collaboration, fairness and respect for the diversity of cultures play a big role in this. In accordance with our leadership model, our managers make binding agreements and work towards developing employees' talents. You can find our leadership concept here.

An award-winning company

We recognise our impact on the three pillars of sustainable development: society, economy and environment, and we work daily to evolve our business model and ensure the success of our company in the long term. The value of our approach is reaffirmed by the distinctions our company has earned overall: from the sense of responsibility as an employer to issues of sustainability and social responsibility (CSR). These are not just isolated events; the “Retailer of the Year 2018-2019” award sets us apart as the supermarket chain most popular with consumers in Europe. See the awards that make us proud here.

As a company operating on an international scale, we are well aware of our size and public presence. More about our corporate principles here.

Clear rules, high standards – Compliance at Lidl

Observing legal requirements is not only a duty but part of our self-conception. We continuously adapt our processes and systems to the legal framework. Collaboration at Lidl is characterized by a high degree of reliability, fairness, and trust and thus we take every reported concern seriously. More about compliance at Lidl here.

Our history – a successful system

In 2010, the first seven store was opened in Cyprus. Since then, we have established ourselves as a well-known retailer in Cyprus and are closely connected to the regional economy. Right now, almost 700 employees help us operate 21 stores and logistic center in Larnaca .

Even when we started out as a food wholesale company in Germany in the 1930s, our goal was to offer quality and freshness at the lowest price possible.

We are proud to be a discounter.

Not only is shopping at Lidl simple and uncomplicated, but also our collaboration with employees and suppliers is characterized by transparency. Our key to success is built on a standardized store system – but always with a focus on our responsibility towards employees and the environment.
