Protect Workers and Sustainable Chocolate: Oppose Tariff-Driven Offshoring by Lindt

Target: Lindt & Spruengli AG Executive Board and U.S. Trade Representatives
Goal: Urge Lindt & Spruengli AG and policymakers to prioritize workers’ rights, fair trade, and environmental sustainability over profit-driven responses to tariffs.
The recent announcement that Lindt & Spruengli AG may relocate production of its beloved chocolate bunnies and other figures from Germany to the United States is a direct result of tariffs imposed by the Trump administration. While this move may help Lindt avoid import taxes, it raises serious concerns about the impact on workers, fair trade practices, and the environment.
Relocating production threatens the jobs of skilled workers in Germany, where labor rights and environmental standards are robust. At the same time, it risks undermining these standards if production moves to facilities with weaker protections. This is a clear example of how trade policy can be used to pit workers against each other and drive a race to the bottom on wages and working conditions.
We call on Lindt & Spruengli AG to commit to upholding high labor and environmental standards in all its operations, regardless of location, and to work with policymakers to ensure that trade policy supports, rather than undermines, workers and communities. We demand transparency in any relocation plans and a commitment to fair trade and sustainability over short-term profit.
Key Demands
- Lindt & Spruengli AG must guarantee that any new production facilities in the US meet or exceed the labor and environmental standards currently upheld in Germany.
- Lindt & Spruengli AG must provide full transparency regarding any planned relocation of production, including impacts on workers in both countries.
- U.S. and international policymakers must ensure that trade policies do not incentivize a race to the bottom in labor rights or environmental protections.
- Lindt & Spruengli AG must engage with worker representatives and environmental organizations in both countries before making any relocation decisions.
- All Lindt chocolate products sold in the US and globally should be produced under fair trade and sustainable conditions, regardless of production location.
