We know that it is only possible to create products of high quality with talented and committed staff. Lindt & Sprüngli aims to offer an attractive and safe workplace, characterized by excellent health and safety standards, diversity and inclusion, equal career opportunities, and high employee satisfaction. Our business success derives from our strong corporate culture, which is founded on our Guiding Principles.
We take great pride in employing over 16,000 people (headcount) worldwide. To complement our permanent workforce, we rely on seasonal temporary production and retail workers. They make up approximately 16% of our workforce. Our success depends on many other people too, such as contractors, distribution partners, wholesalers, and third-party retailers. We recognize, and are committed to respecting, the human rights of our employees and contractors, and strive to treat everyone with dignity and respect.
