Lidl International

Celebrating excellence! Lidl recognized as one of the Top 10 Best Employer Brands 2025 🎉  We're proud that Lidl International has been voted one of the Top 10 Best Employer Brands at the Best Brands Awards 2025 ceremony, yesterday! 🙌 This recognition is a testament to our commitment to creating a workplace where our employees can thrive and grow. We're honored to be ranked alongside some other amazing brands and we're grateful for this acknowledgement of our efforts.   "We are passionate about working together to create a workplace where our employees can develop their skills, pursue their passions and make a real contribution.  Our employer brand empowers our employees to put the customer at the centre of everything they do and create exceptional shopping experiences for them to make the Lidl brand one of the best brands," says MAKSYMILIAN BRANIECKI, our Chief People Officer. The Best Brands award measures a brand's strength based on two criteria: its market success and its attractiveness to consumers. Winners are determined solely by consumer perception, rather than a jury's subjective judgment, making it a unique and representative marketing award.  As Jens Thiemer, our Chief Customer Officer, puts it: "This recognition is a testament to our comprehensive and integrated approach to building the Lidl brand. It includes building a strong employer brand that resonates with our employees and attracts top talents to become the 1st choice for a better life together." We're grateful for this recognition and look forward to continuing to build a workplace that is inspiring and empowering for all our employees. 💪 What do you think makes Lidl the best place to work?

Speaking from the Heart: Celebrating International Mother Language Day at Lidl 💬❤️ Today, we celebrate International Mother Language Day, a day to acknowledge the importance of language in our lives and the role it plays in shaping our identities. As an international company we are spanning over 20 languages across our countries. At Lidl, we believe that language is a powerful tool that connects us to our heritage and to each other – whether it's the everyday grocery trip that brings together customers from different backgrounds, or the multilingual #teamlidl working behind the scenes.😊 And sometimes, language shows us how much we have in common: Did you know that the world “banana” 🍌 sounds almost the same in many languages worldwide? Or that “coffee” ☕ is recognized as caffè in Italian, café in Spanish and French, and Kaffee in German? A small reminder that we often share more than we think! On International Mother Language Day, we celebrate the voices that make us unique and the shared understanding that brings us together!  Comment below with a simple "hello" in your mother language. We are excited to see how many languages we get together! 👇 #LidlInternational #InternationalMotherLanguageDay #Respect #teamlidl

Love is in the air – but did you know Valentine’s Day traditions vary around the world? ❤️💙💛 Love, friendship, gratitude – every culture celebrates them differently. While many mark Valentine’s Day on February 14th, others have their own unique traditions. (Swipe to explore!) At Lidl, respect and belonging are at the heart of how we work – just as they are at the heart of these traditions. Across countries, we see how small gestures make a big difference: a helping hand on a project, a kind word over lunch, or a shared celebration of success. Just like Valentines’ Day reminds us to appreciate loved ones, we believe in showing gratitude every day – to customers, colleagues, and communities. No matter how or when you celebrate, Lidl has something for every tradition. Because feeling valued should never betide to just one day. How do you celebrate Valentine’s Day?
