Compliance Rules of Conduct

For Lidl, legally compliant behavior is a matter of course and one of the central prerequisites for the sustainable success of our company. We have anchored this in our corporate principle, “We comply with applicable law and internal guidelines”.

At Lidl, we systematically create awareness of compliance risks and derive the necessary measures. Our compliance management system focuses on the topics of anti-corruption / anti-fraud, data protection, antitrust law, as well as business partner, supply chain, product, tax, accounting and HR compliance.

Rules of Conduct Compliance
Our Compliance Code of Conduct provides the framework for action for our employees. They are derived from our corporate principle of “We comply with applicable law and internal guidelines” and summarize the rights and obligations of our employees.

Whistle-blower system / complaints procedure
If, despite the measures taken, a compliance violation occurs or there is a risk in this regard, we offer both employees and external third parties the opportunity to provide us with information on possible compliance violations or risks in this regard via our whistle-blower system. Possible compliance violations or risks in this context are:

- Unlawful acts and omissions, which are threatened with a penalty or fine (criminal offenses or administrative offenses);
- Human rights and environmental risks and violations of human rights or environmental obligations;
- Violations of compliance-relevant internal guidelines

Indications of possible compliance violations or related risks can be submitted via the following reporting channels:
