Chocoladefabriken Lindt And Sprungli

Chocoladefabriken Lindt & Sprüngli AG, a Swiss-based company in the candy/sugar products industry, has disclosed its carbon emissions and climate commitments.

For 2025, Lindt & Sprüngli reported total Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions of approximately 3.04 billion kg CO2e. This includes Scope 1 emissions of approximately 65.18 million kg CO2e and Scope 2 (market-based) emissions of about 86.11 million kg CO2e. Scope 3 emissions were approximately 2.88 billion kg CO2e, with purchased goods and services being the largest contributor at roughly 2.53 billion kg CO2e.

Looking back, the company's total emissions were approximately 3.41 billion kg CO2e in 2024, approximately 3.44 billion kg CO2e in 2023, approximately 3.73 billion kg CO2e in 2022, approximately 3.54 billion kg CO2e in 2021, and approximately 3.23 billion kg CO2e in 2020.

Lindt & Sprüngli has set ambitious Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) approved targets. The company commits to reaching net-zero greenhouse gas emissions across its entire value chain by 2050.

Near-term targets include reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 42% by 2030 from a 2020 base year. Additionally, they aim to reduce absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 25% within the same timeframe. For Scope 3 FLAG (Forest, Land, and Agriculture) GHG emissions, the company commits to a 30.3% reduction by 2030 from a 2020 base year and no deforestation across its primary deforestation-linked commodities by December 31, 2025.

Long-term targets entail reducing absolute Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 90% by 2050 from a 2020 base year, and absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 90% within the same timeframe. They also commit to a 72% reduction in absolute Scope 3 FLAG GHG emissions by 2050. These targets cover both biogenic emissions and removals from bioenergy feedstocks where applicable.

Previously, Lindt & Sprüngli 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, until SBTi targets were defined. They also achieved a 10% reduction of greenhouse gas emissions in the production process from 2015 to 2020, per tonne produced, for Scope 1 and 2.
