Financial terms were not disclosed. “After 34 years of independence this is a momentous day for us. We are hugely proud of the business that so many exceptional people have helped us create. Our early commitment to long term social and environmental values was progressive and ahead of its time – and continues today," Clare Parsons, Lansons Co-Founder and NED.
