Supermarket Sustainability Dashboard
The benefits
In short- Insight sustainability across 8 themes
- Data on 13 Dutch supermarket chains

- Potential for expansion
The Supermarket Sustainability Dashboard provides a clear overview of the key objectives, efforts and results of supermarkets in the fields of environment and food.
Environmental efforts and performance of Dutch supermarkets
The Supermarket Sustainability Dashboard presents the environmental efforts and performance of Dutch supermarket chains on themes such as biodiversity, protein transition, resource use and the circular economy, ecolabelling and climate. The focus is on the sustainability of the products sold. For now, the emphasis is mainly on environmental topics, but expansion to other themes is possible.
The dashboard includes data from Albert Heijn, ALDI, Ekoplaza, Jumbo, Lidl, Picnic, PLUS, Boon, Dekamarkt, Dirk, Hoogvliet, Nettorama, Odin, SPAR and Vomar. Data for Poiesz is currently being prepared.
The dashboard gives supermarkets insight into their performance on aspects such as ecolabels, CO₂ reduction, and product range, and allows them to compare themselves with other supermarkets. Policymakers, supply chain actors, researchers, and journalists can also use the dashboard to track sustainability trends and compare the performance of different supermarkets.
The Dashboard was developed by Wageningen Social & Economic Research on behalf of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Nature, in collaboration with supermarkets and civil society organisations. Data comes partly from supermarkets themselves and partly from public sources.
