AT A GLANCE

OUR COCOA PROGRAMMES

90% (as of 2023) of our cocoa comes from cocoa programmes in long-term partnerships with producer organisations in cocoa-growing countries, which we support through these programmes.

CLIMATE-NEUTRAL COMPANY¹ SINCE 2020

¹ We achieve this by avoiding, reducing and compensating unavoidable emissions (Scope 1, 2 and 3 influenceable) with Gold Standard climate certificates.

42% reduction of our emissions by 2030

We joined the Science Based Targets Initiative and set us the ambitious goal to reduce our emissions (Scope 1 – 3) by 42 %. After all, it is more important to reduce emissions than to compensate for them retrospectively.

10% ANNUAL INVESTMENTS IN SUSTAINABILITY PROJECTS

We have committed to investing at least 10% of our annual investments explicitly in sustainability projects. This is independently audited on an annual basis by the Center for Sustainable Leadership (ZNU).

FULLY RECYCLABLE BY 2025

The recyclability of our packaging is of particular importance to us. Apart from our wrappers, this also includes all outer packaging.
