LION has released its 2025 Force for Good Report, highlighting a milestone year in which the company achieved B Corp Certification while continuing to advance its environmental, social and governance commitments.
LION CEO and Managing Director Anubha Sahasrabuddhe said the achievement reflected the company's long-held belief that business success should be measured not only by financial performance, but also by the positive impact it creates for people, communities and the environment.
According to Sahasrabuddhe, becoming a Certified B Corporation was a defining moment as it recognised the breadth and depth of LION’s sustainability credentials against an independent global standard and reinforced the belief that success should be measured not only by financial performance, but by the positive impact created alongside partners.
The certification came as LION has continued to simplify and strengthen its business, focusing on its core markets of Australia and New Zealand and positioning itself for its next era of sustainable growth.
"Our ambition is to be an unrivalled Force for Growth and a Force for Good," said Sahasrabuddhe.
"Achieving that ambition means building on the enduring strengths that set us apart: a culture of performance and belonging, a portfolio of powerhouse brands, brilliant execution and a deep commitment to creating positive impact."
The report has outlined significant progress across LION's sustainability agenda, and LION remains committed to transparency about both its achievements and its challenges.
"Progress is rarely linear. Challenging market conditions, rising expectations and the realities of balancing growth with impact require focus, discipline and trade-offs. What matters most is that we continue to move forward with honesty and intent."
The report highlighted ongoing efforts to improve water efficiency, advance reconciliation, strengthen responsible sourcing practices and increase diversity in leadership, while acknowledging that some challenges require long-term commitment and investment.
"B Corp certification provides a stronger framework for continuous improvement and challenges us to keep raising the bar. We will keep learning, keep lifting our performance and keep building LION as an unrivalled Force for Growth and a Force for Good."
