Our Approach

At Lion, sustainability is a key part of who we are and is embedded in everything we do. Ultimately, our aim is to help create a world where people live and work in communities which take care of each other and the environment.

As a business that has been around for close to 180 years, we know the importance of doing the right thing for the long term. But it’s not just about relying on our longevity. Being a trusted and sustainable business means also ensuring the future of our environment and communities.

That is because we recognise that the success of our business is intertwined with the success of the local communities and environments in which we operate.

Our sustainability strategy demonstrates our commitment to maximising the community benefits of our work, while minimising our social and environmental footprint. We do this by delivering against three overriding commitments:

• Wellbeing
• Environment
• Community

These commitments reflect the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals for health and wellbeing, equality and sustainability.

They also reflect our commitment to creating shared value, which underpins our whole approach to sustainability. Our parent company, Kirin Holdings, also shares this commitment. Kirin’s CSV approach aims to achieve sustainable growth through addressing social issues and is the strategic framework in Kirin’s long term vision.
