RESPONSIBILITY AND SUSTAINABILITY

Sustainability and responsibility at the core of customer excellence

At Lyreco, we are aware that taking action to contribute to the protection of our planet and people requires the commitment of everyone and we must act to drive progress in sustainability with our entire supply chain. Each year, we improve our long-term involvement in sustainability aiming at strengthening our commitment toward more responsible practices and ensuring we work with partners who, at least, share our concerns and ambitions.

Delivering excellence is not only about top-quality products and services, it is about ensuring that every step Lyreco takes to meet its sustainability ambitions and satisfy its customers is achieved in the most sustainable way:

  • Providing products that contribute to protecting the planet and its people
  • Ensuring ethics and compliance requirements are met wherever our suppliers, manufacturers, and partners operate
  • Minimising packaging
  • Developing sustainable processes, from ordering and delivery to product end-of-life
  • Providing employee excellence wherever Lyreco operates
  • Supporting education around the world

Our Sustainability strategy is built upon three pillars: planet, people and progress. It expresses our desire to reduce the impact of our activity on the planet, to have a positive impact on people, and drive progress within our entire value chain.
