BUT ALDI NORD + SÜD HAVE SIGNED A CODE OF CONDUCT IN WHICH THEY COMMIT TO FAIR WORKING CONDITIONS, RIGHT?

That’s correct. In the „International Declaration on Respect for Human Rights,“ ALDI states in 2021, among other things:
„As internationally operating groups of companies with supply chains around the world, we at ALDI are aware of our responsibility to respect human rights along our supply chains in accordance with the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights (UNGP).“

In addition, ALDI Nord + Süd have been members of the amfori BSCI business initiative since 2008 and are therefore committed to complying with the principles of ethical business practices.
