Lindt & Sprüngli 2030 Sustainability Plan
The Lindt & Sprüngli 2030 Sustainability Plan sets out how we care for people and the environment by contributing to cocoa excellence, reduced emissions, and a safe workplace.
Indulgence rooted in responsibility
Value people
We value people – from our workforce and consumers to the farmers and their families in our supply chain.
Learn more about our pillar Value people
With the focus area champion health and safety, we aim to continuously reduce our safety risks to achieve our long-term vision of zero lost-time accidents.
Invest in livelihoods of farming families
As part of our focus area invest in the livelihoods of farming families, we aim to implement a Living Income Program to support 5,000 cocoa farmers in West Africa by 2027.
Provide fair and inclusive employment
Under our focus area provide fair and inclusive employment, we are committed to maintaining a workplace free of discrimination.
In the focus area create safe products, we are committed to full and continuous compliance with regulations concerning the food and safety impacts of our products.
Source with purpose
Lindt & Sprüngli aims to source with purpose by supporting cocoa excellence and building resilient supply chains.
Learn more about our pillar Source with purpose
Since cocoa is our most important raw material, we aim to continue to source 100% of our cocoa volumes according to a Responsible Sourcing Standard annually between 2026 and 2030 through our focus area support cocoa excellence.
Build resilient supply chains
In the focus area build resilient supply chains, 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.
Care for the environment
Lindt & Sprüngli cares for the environment by aiming for net-zero emissions across our value chain by 2050, supporting forest conservation, and rethinking packaging.
Learn more about our pillar Care for the environment
In our focus area reduce emissions, we commit to reach net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across the value chain by 2050. The Group’s approach combines engagement with value chain partners and targeted implementation measures to reduce emissions, strengthen resilience against climate change, and protect natural resources.
To support forest conservation, we commit to working towards no deforestation in cocoa and our other primary deforestation-linked supply chains, (palm oil, soy, and pulp- and paper-based packaging). Since cocoa is our most important raw material and is subject to biodiversity-related risks, most of our defined actions focus on cocoa.
By rethinking packaging, Lindt & Sprüngli aims to reduce the negative environmental impact of the packaging we distribute and to address identified risks along the packaging value chain. We aim for 95% of global packaging to be designed to be recyclable by 2030.

Selected actions
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.
2 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.
3 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.
4 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.
