The Food and Grocery Code Independent Reviewer, Chris Leptos AO, has released his annual report for 2023–24.
The annual report sets out the Independent Reviewer’s activities for the reporting period and outlines key findings from the 2024 annual survey of Code Signatories and suppliers, which was conducted from 24 October 2024 to 26 November 2024.
For each of the comparable survey questions this year, the Signatories received a ranking based on the feedback they received from their suppliers. Overall, the results were as follows:
1st place – Aldi | 2nd place – Metcash | 3rd Place – Coles | 4th Place – Woolworths
For the second year the Independent Reviewer’s annual report is accompanied by an interactive dashboard (available below), allowing users to gain deeper insights into the commercial dealings between Code Signatories and their suppliers. The purpose is to foster enhanced competition in the sector by providing a metric Code Signatories can compete on to promote healthy relationships across the grocery sector.
