Lidl is setting plans in motion to reduce the amount of meat in their stores. In a company-wide sustainability push, Lidl is cutting back on the number of meats they sell. The brand already has a commitment to “vastly increase its plant-based range through 2025 and beyond” and in further support of their decision, Lidl is planning to release a sustainability report later this year that will highlight the key differences between plant-based and animal products. In a statement, the brand said they don’t want to “dictate how customers live their lives” but rather “give more people access to cost-effective plant proteins”—and they expect young consumers to be especially thrilled about it. However, YPulse data shows that may not be the case: 36% of Gen Z say they aren’t interested in plant-based food and drinks, although climate change is still a high priority for young consumers which does impact the purchases they make.
