Our approach
Our egg sourcing commitments
Figures based on number of shell eggs sold.
*From 22/23 onwards Lidl GB realigned its egg reporting to its financial year timeframe, which led to a slight increase in the total coverage of cage free eggs. This step was taken to align its reporting approach with wider sustainability KPIs.
Figures in the above table are based on the proportion of our products that contain egg as an ingredient. Figures for both shell egg and egg as an ingredient will be updated in Q2 next financial year.
