4. Sustainability At Lekkerland, sustainability is about much more than just logistics. It’s a driving force behind everything we do. We are constantly working on new developments, translating them into smart solutions and continuing to expand our sustainability policy. Ultimately, we want to bring more efficiency and more innovation to every process in our chain. Not just for ourselves, but for our partners too. Together, we will build a strong, sustainable relationship, and our initiatives are helping them to be more conscious, greener, and more successful. High-quality products delivered to the right place at the right time delivery is the standard we set. But our product responsibility doesn’t end as soon as an order is delivered. We stand for transparency and actively engage with our suppliers and customers – on how we can prevent food waste, how we can return, reuse, and recycle packaging materials, and more. We even offer circular solutions for various waste streams, so we can give waste a new lease of life. Lekkerland wants suppliers to get involved and play a firm role in achieving the sustainable ambitions that we have set for the following key areas.
