The winning idea
The creation of a Sustainable Dashboard - where our customers can see the environmental impact (CO2e emissions) of the products they buy from us. The dashboard will also enable them to set targets and employ strategies to reduce their CO2e emissions.

Going forward
Lyreco Pioneers is now an annual program, a landmark moment in the Lyreco calendar and a chance for everyone in the Lyreco family to be part of the creation of new solutions to our most important challenges.
Lyreco Innovation will continue to work closely with Lyreco Sustainability to support and enable innovations in this vital, business critical area.
