Following a corporate policy of enhancing sustainability, Aldi has activated a wind turbine at a warehouse in Dwight, IL.  The installation will provide 40 percent of the total energy needs of the facility. 

In 2020, Aldi received the Green Power Leadership Award and in 2019 the GreenChill Store Certification from the Environmental Protection Agency.

Aaron Sumida, Vice President of Aldi stated, "as one of America's largest retailers, it is important for Aldi to prioritize our adoption of Green Power usage across our operations, showing others that it is an affordable accessible choice that can help reduce air pollution and other emissions". 

The EPA ranked Aldi as 16th on the National Top-100 list of participating companies and is the 3rd-ranked retailer.
