The World Sustainable Development Organization praises the Swiss company's growing environmental leadership

The World Organization for Sustainability (WSO) is pleased to announce that Lindaren AG, a Swiss market leader in the field of natural food supplements, the renowned Friend of the Earth Smart Working Certification has received and the WSO Plastic Offset Initiative has joined. These new milestones build on the existing Friend of the Sea certification of the company, which was awarded in 2020 for the omega-3 product range.

An ongoing commitment to a greener future

At the core of Lindaren AG's mission is a deep love of nature and human wellbeing, which is reflected in its holistic approach to sustainability. The company made history as the first in the world to achieve the ground-breaking Friend of the Earth Smart Working certification - a ground-breaking achievement that demonstrates how efficiency in the workplace can go hand in hand with protecting the environment. This certification ensures that non-production employees work remotely for at least 80 % of working days per month, resulting in a significant reduction in CO2 emissions and commuting.

In addition, Lindaren AG is committed to offsetting its environmental footprint by supporting the WSO Plastic Offset Initiative. The company is actively involved in projects that help to remove plastic waste from the environment, addressing one of the world's most pressing environmental issues. In addition, Lindaren implements sustainable practices such as recycling, reducing single-use plastic and promoting awareness of the importance of sustainability.

A vision that inspires

„Lindaren AG's journey is a shining example of how companies can continuously develop in the direction of sustainability, says Paolo Bray, Director of the World Sustainability Organization. „What started with the certification of their omega-3 products has evolved into pioneering labor practices and a proactive approach to reducing plastic waste.“

Lindaren AG's sustainability strategy is based on close partnerships with leading industry experts and responsible suppliers, always aiming to pursue ecological practices and future-oriented actions. The company carefully selects raw materials from sustainable agriculture, ensures the highest purity and quality and continuously innovates to optimize production processes.

„Lindaren provides a remarkable example of how companies can gradually integrate new dimensions of sustainability into their operations, Bray adds. „The company's commitment not only improves the health of individuals, but also creates a meaningful, lasting impact on our planet.“
