Lindex's environmental work

For many years Lindex has worked to continuously reduce the environmental impact of our business. We aim to offer our customers a world-class fashion experience while also securing a sustainable future. Thanks to continuous improvement work and cooperation with other players and access to knowledge and new techniques, there are improved possibilities to work more resource-efficiently. By saving energy, reducing water use, reducing waste, emissions and the use of chemicals, we can reduce the negative effect on the climate. This is a continuously on-going effort that we undertake together with our partners in the supply chain, customers and other stakeholders.

Priority areas for Lindex's environmental work

Lindex's business affects the environment in several different ways; the following areas have been identified as the most important:

Direct environmental impact

• Energy use
• Transport and business trips
• Waste (packaging and products)

Indirect environmental impact

• Local environmental impact during production at external suppliers
• Care and handling of the garments by the consumers

The biggest direct impact is energy use in stores, offices and warehouses, and on transport and business trips through things like carbon dioxide emissions and the potential waste Lindex packaging and products represent. The environment is also impacted through production of products that takes place at external suppliers as well as the use and care of the clothes by the consumer.

Environmental targets and follow-up

In these areas, Lindex sets on-going environmental targets for our business and works to reduce the negative impact on the environment and minimise CO₂ emissions by:

• Responsible, efficient use of resources such as raw materials, energy, water and chemicals
• Minimising waste through the design, purchasing and production process, reuse and recycling
• Transport of goods and trips taking place with consideration for the environment
• Information, dialogue, participation and cooperation with our stakeholders
