Improving Livelihoods

We aim to support people along our value chain in creating decent and resilient livelihoods. The farmers, their families, employees, and the corresponding communities along our supply chain are at the center of our activities.

Responsible Sourcing

Our approach to responsible sourcing considers social, economic, and environmental aspects of our direct suppliers and beyond. As a chocolate company, we prioritize the responsible sourcing of cocoa and other raw and packaging materials. Our Supplier Code of Conduct is a key instrument in this endeavor, as it requires adherence to social and environmental standards by our partners throughout the entire supply chain.

Rural Development

Our own cocoa sustainability program, the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program, and other sustainability initiatives for the sourcing of raw materials enables us to support farmers and their families in creating decent and resilient livelihoods and encourage more sustainable farming practices.

Our Main Commitments to Improving Livelihoods

100% of our cocoa (beans, butter, powder, and chocolate mass) is sourced through sustainability programs by 2025.
