As a leading international chocolate producer, Lindt & Sprüngli is committed to conducting business in an ethical and socially responsible manner. The Lindt & Sprüngli Sustainability Plan is our strategy for creating long-term added value for society, the environment, and the economy. It is our pathway to becoming more sustainable along our entire value chain, from sourcing and production to packaging and consumption.
At Lindt & Sprüngli we take responsibility for every stage of the chocolate making process: from the selection of the cocoa beans to the production of the finished chocolate products. This means our chocolate is produced from 'bean to bar'. We understand that we can only make a meaningful impact on local conditions if we know exactly where our cocoa beans come from, who grew them and how they are produced. That is why we developed our own sustainability program for cocoa beans – The Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program. We pride ourselves on using cocoa beans from our Farming Program in our chocolates. In 2021, more than 91,000 farmers participated in our Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program and we achieved 100% traceability of our cocoa beans.
In 2021 Lindt & Sprüngli committed to defining science based targets (SBT), including a near term reduction target and a goal of reaching net-zero emissions in the long term. We plan to announce our Science Based Targets GHG Reduction Targets in 2023.
With regards to packaging, our specific long-term goal is to support the circular economy and address environmental risks by pushing for sustainable packaging solutions that deliver results, from source to disposal. We have five sustainable packaging commitments, including making 100% of our packaging recyclable; making 50% of our packaging from recycled materials and reducing virgin plastic by 20% by 2025.
Everything we do here at Lindt is rooted in our values and this extends to our wider community. We encourage everyone to take two paid days for volunteering every year and our ambition is to achieve 250 volunteering days a year which has included: supporting schools, hospices, animal shelters and other communities in crisis.
We enjoy giving back to our communities and encourage everyone to fundraise. We have partnered with the NSPCC since 2016 and in that time we have become the headline sponsors of the NSPCC Christmas Campaign. Every year we commit to raising £100,000 for the NSPCC and involve employees in fundraising activities, offering Marathon places and involvement in other NSPCC events to Lindt employees.
