ESG audit společnosti Kaufland

We are living in turbulent times where the retail environment is constantly changing and evolving. In this dynamic atmosphere, it is essential not only to adapt to market conditions, but also to actively integrate environmental, social and governance aspects into business operations. In this context, ESG auditing is becoming a key tool that enables organisations to assess and improve their practices in these areas. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to conduct an ESG audit of the company Kaufland and to present a proposal for improvement. This objective is fulfilled through a risk analysis that revealed the most serious risks, which were subsequently audited in accordance with the European Union legal framework and national legislation. The audit produced results relating to food waste, male representation in jobs, promotion of diversity, disturbance to the wellbeing of local residents and product labelling. Recommendations in these areas were made in the form of introducing an innovative solution for processing food waste into a new product, increasing male representation in jobs through personalised marketing, signing a document promoting diversity, turning off the logo light at night and labelling products in an effective way. Implementing the recommendations will lead to better ESG outcomes in the organization and will strengthen the confidence of both investors and consumers.
