5 figures about… green products
Purchasing environmentally friendly products is a key towards greener workplaces. It requires clear information that eases identification and selection. Lyreco’s assessment process enables customers to trust the products they buy.
14020
Our green products assessment complies with the international standard ISO 14020, the highest level of ISO Environment Claims standards. They must meet several criteria (compostable, degradable, long-term use…) and/or be labelled with eco-responsible standards such as FSC or Ecolabel.

Our assessment process follows an SGS approved methodology and relies on a close partnership between 3 stakeholders: our suppliers and our QSS and marketing teams. By working together, they are the guarantors of ethical and fair certification of our products.

Why We Should Generalize Environmental Footprint
Since 2015, Lyreco, the leading European distributor and third largest global distributor of workplace solutions for businesses has been involved in a European project initiated by the European Commission: the EU Product Environmental Footprint (EU PEF).
In 2019, a major step has been taken: Lyreco was the first BtoB company to publish the environmental performance of its own brand product: Lyreco Laundry Liquid through the EU Product Environmental Footprint.
