LIDL POLSKA – Strategic Partner of Polagra 2025
Polagra is a meeting place for leaders of the industry – and Lidl Poland, as a strategic partner, could not be missing from this event. The company will share its experience and vision for the development of the market. As one of the key market players and event partners, Lidl presents its expertise, best practices, and directions of action that for years have supported Polish producers, strengthened the local economy, and promoted sustainable development.
Lidl Poland – a driving force of the Polish economy and an ambassador of export
For over 23 years, Lidl Poland has consistently supported the development of the national economy. According to the latest report prepared by Deloitte, in 2024 alone the network generated PLN 11.4 billion of added value, while the activity of Lidl and its suppliers helped maintain over 57,000 jobs across the country. Importantly, nearly PLN 6.9 billion represented the export value of Polish products to 28 foreign markets, enabling over 340 domestic suppliers to spread their wings abroad.
The company also focuses on sustainable development – from eco-logistics and electromobility to the circular economy and plastic reduction as part of the REset Plastic strategy. For years, Lidl Poland has also cooperated with WWF Poland Foundation, supporting biodiversity protection in the Baltic Sea and educational activities for local communities.
