Ethics in the digital workplace
Digitisation and automation technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI), can affect working conditions in a variety of ways and their use in the workplace raises a host of new ethical concerns.
Lidl Italia, a German international discount retailer chain that belongs to Schwarz Group, stated that will recruit at least 6,000 new employees by 2024. The recruits are part of the plan until 2024 to open 150 new sales outlets and to strengthen the logistics network with an investment of EUR 1.5 billion euros.
Lidl Italy ended 2021 with a turnover of €5.9 billion, up 6.9% on the previous year. In Italy the company has already 700 stores.
