Lidl Ireland

One whole month of net zero emissions from our sustainable Lidl Maynooth store💚 Last month, Minister for Climate, Environment and Energy Darragh O'Brien TD cut the ribbon on Ireland’s first ever Net Zero Energy supermarket at Lidl Maynooth in Co. Kildare - the first supermarket in the country to produce all of its own energy from renewable sources and have no impact on the climate. This opening marked a major milestone for Irish businesses on the journey to becoming more sustainable and paves the way for a greener future. We were also thrilled to have eco advocate Roz Purcell there to tour the store and discover sustainable features. From living walls to bulk DRS machines, recycled concrete and enough solar panelling to fill 13 tennis courts, every detail has been considered in the sustainable construction and operation of this innovative new store.

We're proud to announce that Lidl Ireland has achieved a 3.8% mean gender pay gap – a significant decrease of 26.9% from the 5.2% gender pay gap reported in 2024 and a reduction of almost half since 2023. Our mean pay gap now sits around two thirds (66%) less than the average pay gap in Ireland of 11.2% as reported by PWC in 2024. Having decreased our mean gap by 46% in just two years, we are committed to tangible actions to eliminate the mean gender pay gap. We're proud to have made significant progress in the progression of female talent into key leadership roles in recent years and to continue investing in industry-leading benefits for employees as well as a suite of inclusive policies, supports and programmes that have real impact on our colleagues' lives and career trajectory. We strongly believe in the positive impact that a zero gender pay gap can have, not only on our own colleagues, but Ireland’s society and economy. With our focus firmly set on reducing our gender pay gap to zero, we are resolute in our ongoing commitment to attracting, developing and retaining a more diverse and inclusive team that is reflective of our customer base. #LidlIreland #MoretoValue #GenderPayGap

Today, Lidl Ireland took a major step towards a greener future with the opening of Ireland’s first ever Net Zero Energy supermarket in Maynooth, Co. Kildare 💚 As Ireland’s Most Sustainable Retailer, Lidl Ireland has invested more than €10 million into the local community in delivering the first supermarket in the country to produce all of its own energy from renewable sources and have no impact on the climate. Minister for Climate, Environment and Energy Darragh O'Brien TD cut the ribbon and officially opened the new store this morning, marking a major milestone for Irish businesses on the journey to becoming more sustainable. Employing a team of 32 local staff, the Lidl Maynooth store team also selected local charity Maynooth Autism Friendly Town to receive a donation of €1,000 in Lidl vouchers. Eco advocate Roz Purcell also toured the new store this morning to discover Lidl Maynooth's sustainable features which make this Lidl truly one of a kind including: 🌿A lush living wall surrounds the store entrance, sustained by a smart rainwater recovery system 🌻A pollinator-friendly community garden with bird boxes, native wildflower planting and insect log piles creates a thriving habitat for biodiversity ⚡6 EV charging stations powered by renewable electricity as well as 12 free-to-use chargers for e-bikes and scooters, along with enhanced cycle parking facilities ♻️ 2 DRS machines - one of which is a high-capacity bulk feeder (only the second of its kind in any Lidl store in Ireland!) making it even easier for customers to recycle large quantities of plastic bottles and cans in one go ☀️Solar panels installed across the roof and car park - equivalent to the size of 13 tennis courts – allows the store to operate efficiently overnight ❄️ Innovative, energy efficient technology within the store and its chillers and freezers captures waste heat to keep these areas cool, and recycles it to heat the store. 🏗️ Built using stone salvaged from the original Maynooth store, concrete made from 50% recycled materials, sustainable timber roof beams and lower embodied carbon roof and wall panels.
