A new milestone! We have collected almost 4 million bottles!

July 2025. As an official partner of Plastic Bank since 2021, we support the mission to prevent the pollution of rivers and oceans by plastic waste and at the same time support local people with an additional source of income. They collect plastic waste from streets, beaches and shores, bring it to a Plastic Bank collection point and get paid for it. Plastic Bank processes the collected plastics to reintroduce them into the supply chain.In the last three years of our collaboration, we have collected and recycled 3,885,150 plastic bottles. 349 collectors in 71 communities in Egypt, Indonesia and Thailand have been supported with additional income. Our goal is to collect a total of 5 million plastic bottles together with Plastic Bank by 2026 and we are well on our way!

Our cooperation with Plastic Bank

May 2024. Since 2022 we are proud to collaborate with Plastic Bank Bank as OceanSteward to stop ocean plastic and improve collector lives in vulnerable coastal communities. Now we reached our common goal to prevent a total equivalent of over 2 million single-use plastic bottles from entering the ocean - that is around 40,000 kg of plastic.Within these two years we we have collected and recycled 2 million plastic bottles, while positively impacting the lives of 309 collection members across 52 communities in Egypt and Indonesia together with Plastic Bank.Thank you Plastic Bank for giving us the possibility to support and to improve the lives of collectors in vulnerable coastal communities.We are looking forward to continuing our partnership!

Milestone achieved

Science Based Targets initiative confirms Lorenz climate targets

January 2024. In 2022, the Lorenz Group joined the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) and set itself science-based CO2 reduction targets. These short- and long-term targets were validated by the SBTi at the end of 2023.This makes us one of the first companies in our industry to set a reduction target in the agricultural sector and a long-term net-zero target in addition to the traditional reduction targets."Limiting global warming is a global task that we as a society can only tackle together. As a company, we also want to live up to our responsibility and do our part," emphasizes Miriam Wollny, Sustainability Manager at Lorenz. "It was important to us to base our goals on a scientifically sound approach. We are therefore delighted that the SBTi has officially confirmed that our climate targets are in line with the latest findings of climate science."Find out more about the targets here.Graphic: The targets at a glance

Moments of Partnership

December 2023. At the end of this year we would like to thank our partner Plastic Bank for the opportunity to be part of the #SocialRecycling movement. Thank you for helping us turn waste into value and strengthen coastal communities. This year, we recommitted to protecting the equivalent of over a million single-use plastic bottles from rising to sea levels, and we helped improve the lives of foragers in vulnerable coastal communities in Indonesia. Together with Plastic Bank we created the #MomentsOfUs, which made a profound difference. And we look forward to continuing our partnership and creating moments that matter in 2024!

December 2023. At the beginning of the year, we launched a project together with Klim to promote regenerative measures in potato cultivation in Germany. Klim has set itself the goal of bringing farmers, companies and consumers together to jointly establish a fully regenerative agricultural system. And we want to play our part.So far, we have been able to recruit 27 of our contract farmers for our project - and that's just the beginning. We are aware that we can only counteract climate change and the loss of biodiversity by working together and that our farmers play a key role as experts.For us, regenerative agriculture means applying various environmentally friendly practices with the aim of increasing soil health and biodiversity. For us, regenerative agriculture is also a key lever for achieving our net-zero emissions target.

July 2023. It is Plastic Free July and we are excited and grateful to announce that our partnership with Plastic Bank continues! In early July we recommitted to stopping the equivalent of over one Million single-use plastic bottles from entering our ocean in 2023. This year we will thereby contribute to improving the lives of collectors in vulnerable coastal communities in Indonesia. 2022 we already saved one million plastic bottles from ending up in the ocean together with Plastic Bank.We clearly see plastic as a valuable material which needs to be used with care and responsibility. Plastic Bank's approach thus fits perfectly with our values and our focus on "less plastic, more recycling".

Lorenz strengthens commitment for a responsible business in South Africa

VGM, part of Lorenz Group, and DEG signed loan agreement

March 2023. The Vaalharts Groundnuts Marketing (Pty) Ltd. (VGM), which is part of the family-led Lorenz Snack World Group, has successfully entered into a seven year loan agreement with AfricaConnect, a program initiated by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by DEG (Deutsche Investitions- und Entwicklungsgesellschaft).The cooperation will enable the South African company VGM, which procures and processes peanuts for the local and export market, to upgrade the existing facilities to the next technological standard to improve efficiency, ensure high food safety and quality also in the long term, while focusing on social and environmental aspects. AfricaConnect is for example financing the modernization of VGM's machinery. Another goal of the program is to increase the involvement of smallholders and promote sustainable farming methods in the supply chain towards regenerative agriculture. This includes for example the creation of new jobs and the improvement of working conditions for seasonal workers. Another focus will be the introduction of a sustainable management system for the supply chain and the regular performance of a labor audit.

Our responsible sourcing strategy

For Lorenz, the majority shareholding of VGM and thus the cooperation with AfricaConnect is a further step on the way to a sustainable supply chain "From Farm to Fork". Wherever possible, we already source raw materials directly from our contractual partners. For example, the potatoes for the chips products have always come predominantly from the vicinity of the respective production sites. But also with other raw materials such as cashews or peanuts, it is important to us and an integral part of our responsible sourcing strategy to seek direct contact with suppliers/farmers, to build trusting, long-term partnerships, and to get involved directly on site.

We have already been working together trustfully and successfully together with the experienced peanut specialist VGM for many years. At the beginning of June 2022, the South African branch of Lorenz Snack-World Holding acquired a majority stake in Valhaarts Groundnuts Marketing (Pty) Ltd (VGM). The family-owned company, based in South Africa's Northern Cape province, processes and markets up to 6,000 t of groundnuts per year and is one of the leading companies in this sector in South Africa.

Curly with new oil blend

Our Curly are now being produced with a mixture of sunflower oil and rapeseed oil

March 2023. Up to now, we at Lorenz have used 100% sunflower oil to produce our Curly products. In recent months, however, like other manufacturers, we have been confronted with limited availability and increased purchasing costs for vegetable oils. This prompted us to look for new solutions.That's why our Curly are now being produced with a mixture of sunflower oil and rapeseed oil. This helps us to react better to varying harvest output and market bottlenecks and thus ensure that our snacks are available in the future.Of course, this has no effect on the taste. All Curly fans can be sure that their favorite snack will taste just as crispy, airy and delicious as before.

Update from our cooperation with Plastic Bank:

1 Million bottles

November 2022. Together we stopped one million plastic bottles from entering the ocean! Much of the plastic that doesn’t make it to the recycling plant ends up in our rivers and ocean. Not only is this a danger to the animals and plants, but it also poses a threat to the climate, as plastic releases greenhouse gases as it slowly breaks down. We clearly see plastic as a valuable material which needs to be used with care and responsibility. Plastic Bank's approach thus fits perfectly with our values and our focus on "less plastic, more recycling". We are therefore grateful to partner with Plastic Bank to address environmental and social challenges to reduce plastic waste.

Lorenz Egypt becomes a partner of Plastic Bank

June 2022. Together with the social enterprise we want to prevent plastic from entering rivers, seas and oceans and at the same time support people in emerging and developing countries with an additional source of income. The idea behind it is this: People collect plastic waste from streets, beaches and shores, bring it to a Plastic Bank collection point and get paid for it. Plastic Bank processes the collected plastics to put them back into the supply chain. The recycled plastic is reborn as Social Plastic™ raw material and used to make products and packaging. Plastic Bank's approach thus fits perfectly with our values and our focus on "less plastic, more recycling."  The goal for the first year is to collect about 20,000 kg of plastic, which is equivalent to about 1 million bott

Sustainability at Lorenz

NEW: Our Sustainability Progress Report 2024 is online!

We are determined to keep improving the environmental and social impact of our actions. To take our customers, partners and all interested parties on this journey with us, we publish an annual sustainability report.In June, we published our fifth sustainability progress report. One highlight: we were able to achieve our salt reduction target a year earlier than planned. We have also made good progress in other areas: For example, we have developed and adopted targets for our Lorenz Nutrition Profile. In the area of regenerative agriculture, we have expanded our activities beyond potatoes to include other raw materials such as oil, wheat and peanuts. And we were able to achieve significant CO₂ reductions in all externally reviewed climate targets.Find out more:Sustainability Progress Report 2024FactsheetOur previous reports:Sustainability Progress Report 2023FactsheetProgress Report on Sustainability 2022Progress Report on Sustainability 2021Lorenz Report on Sustainability 2020/2021

[IMG: Less salt]

Less salt, same enjoyment!

We know that our brands are not vegetables. However, we also want to offer solutions for a modern way of life and diet and thus, continuously adapt our recipes. For example, by reducing the salt content. Our goal: By the end of 2025, reduce the salt content in our entire product portfolio by 15 percent compared to 2019.And how do we do that? Every new product development must contain 15 percent less salt than the average for that brand from the outset. We started with Crunchips Rustics in Germany. And we are reviewing all existing recipes with the aim of reducing the salt content here as well.

Less plastic, more recycling: our packaging

To ensure that our snacks arrive on your table safe and sound and in top quality, they need clever packaging. But how do you do that if you want to conserve resources at the same time? This is the question our packaging specialists deal with every day.Our Mission: #Less plastic sums up our approach: We want to use as little plastic as possible. Furthermore we want to use only recyclable packaging.

Less plastic!

By the end of 2025, we want to reduce our plastic consumption for our primary packaging by 15% compared to 2019. An international team consisting of colleagues from Packaging and Purchasing has reviewed the entire Lorenz packaging portfolio for reduction potential. We have already optimized some of our films by, for example, thinning the packaging material, shortening the films by omitting the Euro hole, or dispensing with extras such as the resealable sticker.For Saltletts alone this has enabled us to reduce plastic use by 64 tons per year (compared to 2019) across the Group. We are also already working hard to reduce plastic in many other brands. Every time we redesign packaging, we get one step closer to our mission.

[IMG: Lorenz More Recycling]

More recycling!

88% of our primary packaging is already recyclable, and by the end of 2025 we will have converted the remaining percentages. We already use mono-plastic packaging for most of our potato chip brands, Saltletts, Curly, Pommels and Monster Munch. Every single one of these packages is already highly recyclable according to the standard of the renowned testing institute cyclos-HTP.Now we are specifically targeting non-recyclable packaging, such as the foil pouches for our nut products like NicNac's. In countries where a recycling structure is in place, we are gradually labeling our products with a recycling icon for greater transparency right on the shelf.

Hello again. Recycled for more ecological responsibility

Our new brown, unbleached cardboard packaging saves resources and the environment – but still looks great. The cardboard that we use is FSC® Mix (FSC-C133957) certified and consists mainly of recycled material. FSC® stands for Forest Stewardship Council®, an organization that sets internationally valid environmental and social standards for sustainable forest management.The product symbol FSC® Mix indicates that wood-based material is sourced from FSC®-certified forests, and that the product uses recycled material and material from controlled sources. What’s more, our locations in Germany, Poland and Austria are all certified according to the FSC® Standard for exemplary forest management.

Lorenz is a Plastic Bank Partner

In countries where there is still no comprehensive waste management infrastructure or systems for recycling packaging materials, we partner with “Plastic Bank.” As an official partner, we have been supporting their mission since 2021 to prevent plastic waste from polluting rivers and oceans while also providing local communities with an additional source of income. They collect plastic waste from streets, beaches, and coastlines, bring it to a Plastic Bank collection point, and are paid for it. Plastic Bank processes the collected plastics to reintroduce them into the supply chain. Over the past few years of our collaboration, we have been able to support many collectors in various communities in Egypt, Indonesia, and Thailand with additional income. We are pleased to be able to contribute to the circular economy through our partnership with Plastic Bank.

Long-term partnerships with our farmers

We rely on long-term partnerships with our suppliers, who share our values. Over 300 potato farmers have been working with us – some for over 50 years – in controlled contract cultivation. Strict regulations guarantee verifiable cultivation methods to protect the environment and consumer safety – your safety. We reject all use of genetically modified plants. This “controlled contract cultivation” provides us with high quality potatoes and enables sustainable management to preserve the environment. Short transport routes also help save resources.Potatoes are just one of many examples. With our wheat and peanut cultivation and processing, our focus is again on sustainability and continuity.

Lorenz signs UN Global Compact

Working together for a sustainable global economy

Acting responsibly to make the global economy more socially and ecologically responsible - that's what the UN Global Compact of the United Nations stands for. Since December 2020, we have been a participant in the world's largest initiative for responsible corporate governance. We are aware that global challenges can only be solved together. That is why we want to work together with 15,000 companies and organizations from 160 countries on the vision of a sustainable global economy that benefits all people, communities and markets. The UN Global Compact is based on 10 universal principles on human rights, labor standards, environmental awareness and corruption prevention, and 17 goals for sustainable development based on these principles.For us as a company, this means that we consistently align our activities and strategies with these goals. For example, the 10 principles are reflected in our Code of Conduct, on which every employee is trained. We work on sustainable supply chains and fair working conditions, and on achieving less plastic and more recycling in our packaging.

Sustainable supply chains and fair working conditions

We feel responsible for all people associated with Lorenz. This also applies to the producers of our raw materials around the world. In addition to agreeing on our own Code of Conduct, which is also binding for our business partners, we have summarized our principles for responsible sourcing in the document Our Responsible Sourcing Commitment. Our approach is to build and maintain trusting relationships with our suppliers and farmers in order to jointly establish transparent and fair supply chains. Together with various initiatives, we are also directly involved on site, for example with the Cashew Development Fund in Mozambique. Initiative for Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains (INA) and the Sustainable Nut Initiative (SNI)The Initiative for Sustainable Agricultural Supply Chains (Initiative für nachhaltige Agrar Lieferketten (INA)) brings together players from private business, civil society, and politics. We are also on board. Together we want to achieve greater sustainability in global agricultural supply chains and improve the living conditions of small farmers everywhere.Focus on the sustainable cultivation and processing of nuts: since 2015 the Sustainable Nut Initiative (SNI) has lobbied successfully for higher standards in the nut supply chain. We joined the initiative in 2020.

High quality cashews with development: the Cashew Development Fund

Ensuring high quality cashews while also taking social responsibility – we have been able to do this with the Cashew Development Fund. By working together with small farmers directly in Africa and giving them the opportunity to sell their produce.Together in a development partnership with the Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) GmbH and the Norwegian family-owned company BRYNILD, we support the development of the cashew sector in Mozambique in the project "Mozambican Cashew Nut Development Alliance".This means specifically: increased yields and income for farmers and processors thanks to improved inputs and organizational and skills development along the value chain. This includes, for example, a Farmer Business School or training on good agricultural practices. The establishment of new tree nurseries and plantations has also already been realized.These measures implemented by GIZ are, by the way, part of the ProEcon-PROMOVE Agribiz project, which is financed by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and the European Union (EU).

Climate protection

Protecting resources, reducing greenhouse gas emissions

We are aware that as a manufacturing company we cause CO2 emissions. This is precisely why the sustainable use of energy is important to us. By 2045, we want to achieve the net zero emissions target along the entire value chain.  And how do we intend to achieve this?1. We save energy: we cover the majority of our own energy requirements with natural gas. We cannot yet replace this, but we can reduce it, for example by using heat recovery systems and energy-efficient machinery.2. We use electricity from renewable sources: since 2022, 100 percent of our electricity requirements at our own sites across the Group have come from renewable sources.3. We produce part of our energy requirements ourselves: for example in Hankensbüttel via a photovoltaic system installed in 2021 (see photo). At our plants in Kreba and Neunburg, we have our own combined heat and power plant. 4. We conserve resources: at the Neunburg and Stanowice sites, we have our own biogas plant.You can find more information in our You can find more information on environmental and climate protection in our Environmental Policy document and our Sustainability
