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.

Lindström’s workwear and the additional services of laundry and the personalised use of lockers does not only make everyday operations in production much easier from a functional point of view, but also contributes to intangible values.
