Together we make eating better the easy choice. For everyone. That is Albert Heijn's purpose. We can only fulfill this purpose if we are open to collaborations, curious about differences, and available for everyone.
An inclusive organization brings a diversity of ideas and insights that lead to innovation, creativity, and better solutions. If we are all the same, there is nothing to learn.

We aim to make better food accessible to everyone. Better eating involves respecting humans, animals, and nature without wasting food, plastic, and packaging, and avoiding unnecessary CO2 emissions. Together with our dedicated farmers, growers, and suppliers, we are taking steps to do a little better each time.
For example, we have long-term partnerships with nearly 450 dairy farmers, 100 pig farmers, 200 poultry farmers, and 360 fruit and vegetable growers. Together, we invest in taste, quality, innovation, animal welfare, climate, and biodiversity, often for generations.
