Promoting conscious purchasing
Private label products labeled with seals offer consumers additional guidance and confirm our high quality and product standards.
Further labels indicate the special features of our food and non-food articles. Lidl Cyprus has been selling textiles from Lidl’s own fashion lines since 2019. In addition to the perfect fit and high-quality workmanship, the certifications guarantee skin compatibility, freedom from hazardous substances or an ecological manufacturing method, depending on the relevant label. In addition, electronics, household appliances, toys and furniture are also extensively tested by independent institutes in addition to Lidl's own internal inspections.
Transparent product labeling
We want to make it easy for our customers to make a conscious decision. That’s why we label our products very visibly with information on nutritional values, allergens and sustainability seals. We also go above and beyond legal requirements, for example with the Nutri-Score t,he V-label and Eco-Score.
EU Ecolabel
It is an international quality label recognised in all EU Member States, as well as in Turkey, Norway, Iceland and Switzerland. Its aim is to enable consumers to identify more environmentally friendly and healthier products. It certifies products or services that have a lower environmental impact. It thus sets high standards for production and suitability for use that is environmentally and socially friendly. The certification covers the entire life cycle of the product.
Fairtrade
Fairtrade stands for better working and living conditions for small farmers and workers in Africa, Asia and Latin America. More than 1.6 million smallholders and workers already benefit from stable minimum prices, the Fairtrade premium for community projects and the promotion of environmentally friendly cultivation. The independently controlled Fairtrade standards include criteria on democratic organisational structures, environmental protection and safe working conditions.
GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard)
The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) was founded by international standard organisations that advocate for more environmentally friendly and socially responsible textile production. The seal identifies a globally uniform, controllable, social and ecological standard. Only textile products that consist of at least 70 percent organically produced natural fibres are awarded the seal. The entire textile production chain is independently certified. All products are also traceable and can be checked in the public database.
STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX®
The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® label is a globally standardised, independent testing and certification system for textiles. It includes tests for harmful substances that cover legally banned chemicals and chemicals that pose a health risk. The limit values specified in the standard serve to protect consumers and in many cases exceed (inter)national requirements.
Rainforest Alliance Certified
The seal identifies products that are wholly or in part sourced from farms that are Rainforest Alliance Certified. The origins must be managed according to strict guidelines of the Rainforest Alliance Sustainable Agriculture Standard. This includes criteria for environmental protection, social responsibility and profitability. The guidelines were developed on the one hand to protect and preserve wildlife and plants as well as soil and water, and on the other hand to improve the living conditions of the workers, their families and the local communities.
RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil)
The Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil (RSPO) is a global initiative that aims to make sustainable palm (kernel) oil the norm. The label promotes more sustainable cultivation methods for oil palms. This is intended to cause less damage to the environment. The criteria to be certified are of an ecological and social nature. These include respecting the basic rights of farmers and workers in the producing regions. Areas worthy of protection are also to be excluded from the cultivation of palms for palm (kernel) oil.
Cotton made in Africa
“Cotton made in Africa” is an internationally recognized standard for sustainable cotton sourced from Africa. Since 2005, the initiative behind the label has been committed to protecting the environment and improving working and living conditions for smallholder farmers and for the workers in the ginneries. Through its work, the initiative helps to improve the social, economic, and ecological conditions in cotton production in Africa. Through the building of partnerships with textile companies, it creates explicit demand for the sustainably produced cotton, which is marketed under the “Cotton made in Africa” label.
