Our strategy

LYRECO'S SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

Why do we have  sustainability strategy?

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.   

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.

Planet

In order to reduce our impact on the planet, by 2026 we will: 

  • Use and sell products and services that contribute to protecting the planet and its people, with a target of 90% of total turnover to be represented by our Sustainable Selection products. 

  • Embrace the circular economy by closing the loop in our internal consumption and external selling.  

  • Reduce the environmental impact of our company vehicles and business travel and switch our vehicles to low-emission vehicles. The emissions that we cannot reduce will be offset by financing climate action. 

  • Reduce the environmental impact of our company facilities and offset the emissions we cannot reduce by financing climate actions.

global goals

Supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals

In 2015, the United Nations defined 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) that provide a blueprint for governments, NGOs, companies, and citizens. 

They address the global challenges we face, including those related to poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental degradation, peace, and justice.   

Our ambition on sustainability is aligned to the SDGs that we consider strategic for us in our effort to create a better world for all stakeholders.
