Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd said about 1,000 own-brand products, some two-thirds of the range, would carry the same brand names by the end of 2020, ending six decades of separate labels.

Aldi Nord officially opened a 100,000-square-metre headquarters campus on Eckenbergstraße in Essen-Kray after almost three years of construction, with room for up to 2,000 staff.

Publishing its 2021 sustainability report, Aldi Nord said it had cut greenhouse gas emissions almost 50% since 2015 and set a new group target of a further 55% cut by 2030 against 2020.

The Theo Albrecht and Berthold Albrecht family branches agreed to end years of disputes and legal fights and to place Aldi Nord under a single holding company owned half by each branch's foundations.

Group board member Nicolás de Lope took over as CEO of Aldi Nord from Torsten Hufnagel, who left after 28 years for personal reasons; Germany chief Felix Rottmann moved up to the group board.

Lars Kürten, previously deputy CEO of Aldi France, took charge of Aldi Nord's German business from Felix Rottmann, who stays on the group executive board.

Aldi Nord and Aldi Süd said they will not offer app-only coupons or loyalty prices, launching ad campaigns that pitch the same shelf price for every shopper against rivals' bonus apps.
