OUR INVESTMENTS: 7 MILLION EUROS
We invest around seven million euros a year in our cocoa programmes in Middle and South America and in West Africa.
ASSURED ORIGIN
For many years, we have been supporting mapping – that is, the geographical mapping of the cocoa farms of all participants in our cocoa programmes. This creates transparency and a close connection to our most important raw material, cocoa.
OUR COCOA FARM: 2,500 HECTARES
On 1,200 hectares we grow our fine cocoa in a sustainable agroforestry system, meaning in a farming system involving multiple species. Furthermore, we protect leave another 1,200 hectares of forests and wetland in their original state on our farm.
