Lindt & Sprüngli has set ambitious climate commitments.

In the near term, Lindt & Sprüngli is committed to reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030, using a 2020 base year. Additionally, the company plans to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. Long-term targets include a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2050 and a 90% reduction in absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 2050, both from a 2020 base year. The company also commits to no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by 31 December 2025.

Historically, Lindt & Sprüngli has achieved a 10% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the production process per tonne produced from 2015 to 2020 (covering Scope 1 and 2). They also had an interim commitment to achieve a 2% reduction of GHG emissions in the production process per year from 2020, per tonne produced, covering Scope 1 and 2 emissions, until SBTi targets were defined.
