Sustainability cane sugar barometer 2016
As cane sugar was not included in the research conducted in 2012, yet no evolution can be measured.
5.5.2.2 Analysis of results In 2016, Lidl was the only chain which sold only own brand sustainable cane sugar (100% Fairtrade). IntermarchĂŠ (92%) is second, followed by Spar (80%) and Delhaize (75%). Moreover, the own brand products of Colruyt, Delhaize, AD Delhaize, IntermarchĂŠ and Lidl are fully certified as sustainable. It should be highlighted that all of the chains have a relatively high sustainable cane sugar offering. Given the low amount of sustainable cane sugar exported worldwide, these results are very positive. The most represented brands are Candico, Tirlemont and Purevia. Products are predominantly certified Fairtrade, with some certified Organic. Aldi does not sell cane sugar at all in its range.
