The Lindt & Sprüngli 2030 Sustainability Plan
The Lindt & Sprüngli 2030 Sustainability Plan outlines our targets and the corresponding metrics to track the Group's progress regarding its sustainability performance.
It is based on three strategic pillars:
Source with purpose
Sourcing with purpose means building more traceable and resilient supply chains - particularly for cocoa, our most important raw material.
Source with purpose
Sourcing with purpose means building more traceable and resilient supply chains - particularly for cocoa, our most important raw material.
Care for the environment
A stable climate, healthy ecosystems and biodiversity are essential to the production of cocoa and other raw materials that Lindt & Sprüngli relies on.
Value people
We value people – from our workforce and consumers to the farmers and their families in our supply chain.
Our progress
100%
of our cocoa products were sourced through the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program or other Responsible Sourcing Standards¹
¹ At Lindt & Sprüngli, Responsible Sourcing Standards refer to certifications, assessments, programs, or specifications which consider social or environmental criteria for raw and packaging materials. For more information refer to our latest Sustainability Statement.
92%
of our packaging was designed to be recyclable in 2025
100%
of our palm oil and palm kernel oil was sourced RSPO certified in 2025
Selected Actions
Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program
Rainforest Alliance certification
Child Labor Monitoring System
Palm oil
² At Lindt & Sprüngli, Good Farming Practices may include Good Agricultural Practices (as defined by the Food and Agriculture Organization), agroforestry, production efficiency, and diversified farm systems. The comprehensive definition can be found in our latest Sustainability Statement.
³ A CLMRS aims to identify children in, or at risk of child labor, to provide ongoing guidance, and to support improving their situation and to follow their progress over time.
⁴ Agroforestry combines cocoa with trees and other crops to create a diverse farming system which can improve plant health, as diseases typical of monocultures cannot spread as easily. Larger shade trees also protect the sensitive cocoa plants from too much sun, which can lead to better yields.
⁵ We classify a material as recyclable if a collection, sorting, and recycling infrastructure using state-of-the-art technology is available on an industrial scale. We do not control whether packaging is ultimately recycled and make no representation in that regard.
Our main commitments
100%
We aim for 100% of the volume of priority raw and packaging materials bearing significant sustainability risks to be sourced according to a Responsible Sourcing Standard by 2030
Net zero
We commit to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050
Living income project
We aim to implement a living income program to support 5,000 cocoa farmers in West Africa by 2027.
