KARLSTAD, Sweden – Löfbergs has been awarded the prestigious Sustainability Innovation Award by Food Folk, McDonald’s licensee for the Nordics, recognising the company’s outstanding efforts in sustainability. This award highlights the hard work behind Löfbergs’ commitment to improving traceability within the supply chain and comes amidst tough competition from McDonald’s suppliers across the Nordic region.
“The award not only showcases Löfbergs’ dedication to sustainability but also demonstrates how such initiatives create value for business. Strong relationships with coffee farmers, along with a focus on quality and risk management, have allowed Löfbergs to build a trusted partnership with McDonald’s, ensuring both taste and sustainability in every cup,” says Anders Fredriksson, CEO of the company Löfbergs.
