Corporate Sustainability

As a Lindt & Sprüngli group company, we at Russell Stover strive to increase our commitment to sustainability. Our aim is to foster successful collaboration within the company, improve the livelihoods of our farmers in the countries of origin, contribute to an intact environment, and delight our consumers.

For that reason, we are continually assessing where our current environmental initiatives can be improved and where new ones can start. For example, we are developing and incorporating new technologies at our facilities and in our infrastructure to become more energy efficient. We take advantage of innovations and improvements to our transportation networks to reduce the amount of carbon released as a result of getting our beloved products into the stores.
