LAPA has built sustainability into the core of its business — not as a slogan, but as a measurable commitment. Since 2020, the Green LAPA Program has delivered: 70% reduction in single-use plastic, full fleet electrification by 2027, 100% recyclable packaging, an expanded BIO range, and certified CO₂ compensation.
2024 Results: Verified, Not Claimed
-68% single-use plastic, -60% fleet CO₂ emissions, 614 BIO products available, 12.7 tons of food saved from waste. All figures certified by SGS Switzerland — auditable, not approximate.
The Green LAPA Program: 6 Pillars
1. Plastic Reduction and Sustainable Packaging
Every LAPA delivery arrives with optimised, recyclable packaging. No excess plastic, no unnecessary bulk. Cleaner logistics for your operation, lower impact for the environment.
2. Green Fleet and Optimised Logistics
Our delivery vehicles cover Swiss roads daily. By 2027, the entire fleet will be electric. Routes are continuously optimised to reduce emissions while maintaining reliable, on-time delivery.
3. Certified CO₂ Compensation
Emissions that cannot yet be eliminated are offset through SGS Switzerland-certified projects. LAPA’s annual Sustainability Report documents every step — transparent, traceable, third-party verified.
4. BIO and Sustainable Product Range
614 BIO products across a catalogue of over 2,000 references. Organic produce, certified dairy, Italian specialities from responsible agriculture. Quality and sustainability are not a trade-off.
5. Italy-Switzerland Short Supply Chain
Our Italian producers are located just hours from the Swiss border. A short supply chain means superior freshness, fewer transport miles, lower CO₂, and often lower prices — because intermediaries are removed entirely. From producer to your kitchen, directly.
6. Food Waste Reduction
12.7 tons of food saved in 2024. Through just-in-time ordering, smart expiry management, and partnerships with local organisations, surplus becomes resource instead of waste.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do sustainable LAPA products cost more?
BIO products carry a 10-20% premium. But LAPA’s short supply chain products cost less, precisely because intermediaries are eliminated. Overall, choosing sustainable with LAPA is not a premium decision.
How can I verify that LAPA is genuinely sustainable?
LAPA publishes an annual Sustainability Report with SGS Switzerland-certified data. You can request it at any time. We do not ask for blind trust — we provide the numbers.
Conclusion: Sustainability Is the Future, Not an Option
Choosing LAPA means choosing a partner that shares your values — and those of your customers. End consumers read labels, ask about provenance, and reward consistency. Building sustainability together is a real competitive advantage.
