Helping our customers become more sustainable

Sustainability is at the core of who we are and how we operate – and it’s been that way for decades.

  • We aim to inspire businesses to grow in a sustainable way.

  • Our business model is built on the principles of circular economy.

  • We know sustainable growth is possible – because we live it every day.

  • We’ve long worked to avoid overproduction of textiles and to optimise the use of natural resources.

Textile waste recycling
In 2023, we recycled 74% of our textile waste (target 100% by 2025). Our bold goal is to close the loop and use our textile waste as raw material for our new textiles
Net-zero emissions
Our target is to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 50% across the value chain by 2030, ultimately achieving net-zero emissions by 2050
Sustainable Materials
We aim to increase the sustainability of our materials. Our goal is that 30% of our new textiles include recucled or bio-based materials by 2025.

Real customer stories tell more than us
I have dealt with a lot of workwear companies over the time in my role, but I believe Lindström are the best of the bunch. Lindström will be there to help sort when issues do arise, which in our experience is not often.
