Everyday decisions for the environment

For us, operational excellence primarily means effective and responsible practices throughout our value chain. Operational excellence reduces the burden on the environment and ensures the quality of our products and responsible purchasing.

Each of our employees takes care of Lindström’s impacts on the environment. At our laundries, the textile care workers make dozens of decisions that affect the consumption of energy and water when choosing a suitable washing programme for textiles. In the same way, we are constantly making decisions that have an effect on the amount of textile waste and the quality of our products.

New ways to recycle

Textile waste is not only for us, but also a globally growing problem, and we are constantly looking for new recycling possibilities for disposed textiles such as workwear, mats, hotel linens and table cloths for restaurants. Our primary goal is to prevent waste generation.

Our goal is to decrease generation of textile waste

Our goal 2020 is that 90% of our textile waste is recycled. Read how we aim to reach this target.

We know the requirements and guarantee quality

Lindström clothes about one million employees every day. We are responsible for the quality and product safety of all our products. Everyone at Lindström influences on the quality of our customers' experience.

Where are the bathrobes and towels coming from?

We want to know our suppliers thoroughly and we visit them regularly to go through the production facilities and working methods.

Accountability of procurement

Accountability of procurement requires common understanding with our suppliers. The supply chain for our products and services goes from Europe to Asia and Africa.
