"I grew up shopping with my mother at Aldi, so I'm very familiar with the store size, structure, products, and customer processes. From a higher level, I know Aldi has been awarded the Overall Energy Achievement Award, the top award for recognition of its approach to using sustainable energy, energy reduction, and reducing carbon emissions. I think the Aldi mission is an incredible one."
