As early as the beginning of the 1970s, LISTA incorporated environmental protection into its mission and business objectives. Reducing energy consumption per unit of production was established as a priority objective in order to promote the responsible use of limited resources. This led to the implementation of various energy-saving programmes, the development of a sophisticated logistics concept, the optimisation of goods flows and the promotion of environmentally friendly recycling.

Since 1998, Lista AG has been certified according to the ISO 14001 environmental standard, and environmental management has been integrated into the quality management system (QMS) manual.

Through its participation in the Energy Agency for the Economy (EnAW) programme, Lista has been committed to actively reducing CO2 emissions and optimising energy efficiency since 2007.

In 2023, Lista was certified for the first time by the CSR rating agency EcoVadis and immediately awarded the bronze medal. This certification is an important measurement tool in terms of sustainability and enables Lista to focus on moving towards greater sustainability.
