  • ensuring ethics and compliance in all the countries where our suppliers operate,

  • minimising packaging,

Sustainable and ethical sourcing

We require our suppliers and Lyreco products' manufacturers to fully respect Environmental, Labour and Human Rights. Sustainability and ethics in the Supply Chain are therefore key principles of Lyreco CSR strategy. 

To ensure that our responsibility and sustainability standards are constantly met, the group QSS team audits yearly and directly on-site our Lyreco products manufacturing partners.

These assessments and audits use as a framework: 

  • SMETA (SEDEX Members Ethical Trade Audit) 4 pillars: Labour, Health & Safety, Environment and Business Ethics.
  • BSCI
  • Lyreco Vigilance plan and Purchasing policy
