PURPOSEFUL SUSTAINABILITY


At Linnea, we are committed to operating responsibly, transparently, and with a long-term vision for sustainable growth. Our approach to ESG is rooted in continuous improvement across our entire value chain.

ECOVADIS


Our commitment has been recognised through the EcoVadis Silver Medal, placing us among the top performers assessed for sustainability and corporate responsibility.

UNGC


Since 2023, we are also proud supporters of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) and its principles on human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption, which guide our efforts in building a more sustainable and ethical business.

ENAW


We feel it is essential to devote ourselves to making a positive impact on the environment and limiting climate change. That is why we voluntarily adhere to the Swiss Energy Strategy Program (ENAW) to reduce carbon dioxide emissions and energy consumption.

ESG POLICY


Linnea’s sustainability framework is supported by our ESG Policy, released in 2025, which guides our initiatives and helps ensure we deliver measurable impact through a set of clearly identified KPIs, focused on short and medium/long term achievements.

 

CIRCULARITY


Our biogas project represents an important milestone in advancing circularity within our operations.

Through a partnership with farmers in the Swiss canton of Ticino, we help convert organic waste into energy that is used to heat local homes and supports the local community.

Step Step Step Step Step

Since its commissioning, the biogas plant has delivered impressive results, producing approximately 1,300,000 kW of electrical energy and 600,000 kW of heat annually.

The electricity is fed into the public power grid, meeting the needs of about 250 households, while the heat is distributed through the neighboring district’s heating network.

The remaining inorganic matter is returned to the land as a cer tified organic, stabilized fertilizer for nearby farms, closing the loop in a truly natural and sustainable system.

 

AT LINNEA, WE SEE OURSELVES AS PART OF NATURE

Nature is the source of our premium-quality active pharmaceutical ingredients, and it inspires our team in their work every day.

Guided by this fundamental belief, the biogas plant serves the purpose of giving back to the planet.
