Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives often help businesses in the form of competitive advantage. Because of these initiatives it is difficult to realize the full value of strategic CSR. CSR can be divided into many areas of business, but the most well-known triple bottom line theory divides CSR into 3 basic areas: environmental, social and economic. In this article we reviewed CSR of the wellknown food chain -Lidl in the context of corporate social responsibility. We focused mainly on the environment part of Lidl´s CSR. We described the CSR policy of the retail chain and suggested the necessary improvements. Our aim was to focus specifically on Lidl's actions and to point out the perception of their programs to deal with food waste, as this is currently a serious problem. The question of food waste is very important nowadays, because we have problems with hunger in some countries and on the other hand we have food waste problems because of the surplus of food. Distribution should be more even. Large food chains such as Lidl have an important role to play in wasting food. The problem of the food waste affects similar food chains much more, as food demand is steadily increasing. Food losses and food waste are responsible for 3.3 trillion tons of greenhouse gases. Improving the situation of food losses and food waste is considered to be a significant factor in reducing emissions.

Forest land provides several environmental services and goods with significant implications for different socioeconomic and environmental dimensions. Forestry and its management are determinant activities for sustainable development, specifically in the current context of urgent mitigation of climate change. In this perspective, one objective of this research was to survey the main insights from the literature about the forest and management dimensions put together, highlighting the contributions of these activities to mitigate climate change. Another objective was to explore indicators related to forest management (land, employment, output, and net emissions) in order to obtain a forest sustainability index through factor analysis. As main insights from this study, we can quote that the literature survey pinpoints the most relevant factors framing forest management: soil characteristics, ecology, ecosystems, biodiversity, deforestation, climate change, socioeconomic frameworks, local knowledge, public policies, institutional context, and new technologies. Forest indicators reveal a strong relationship between forest land, employment and output, and a weaker relation with net emissions. We concluded that there is a need for stakeholders to explore and improve the interlinkage with climate change impact, specifically with regard to improving the relationships of forestry greenhouse gas emissions impacts with forest size and output.
