Summary

It demonstrates moderate to poor performance across all measurement areas, with the most significant room for improvement in the marketplace and community area, where it ranks at the bottom.

Lindt & Sprüngli, like many other companies, performs well on having a grievance channel for its own employees and external stakeholders.

Lindt & Sprüngli has an opportunity to making a public commitment to gender equality and women’s empowerment, as well as on publicly aligning its primary carer leave policy to ILO standards of at least 14 weeks and its secondary carer policy to ILO standards of 2 weeks, to disclose more information about its policies in place regarding violence and harassment in the workplace and its remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances in the workplace and requiring its suppliers to have an effective remediation process for addressing violence and harassment grievances of their workers.
