Annual Sustainability Reports
Sustainability plays a key role in ensuring our long-term business success. We report on an annual basis about the progress towards its sustainability targets and commitments, as set out in the Lindt & Sprüngli Sustainability Plan. Our Sustainability Reports assess the economic, environmental, and social impact of our activities. They also present the organization's values and governance model, and demonstrate the link between our strategy and commitments to a responsible way of doing business.
The 2024 Lindt & Sprüngli Sustainability Report was prepared with reference to the GRI Standards 2021 and contains selected disclosures from the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS).

Lindt & Sprüngli Corporate Carbon Footprint Methodology
