CLIMATE ACTION
Luker's roadmap to climate-positive agriculture focuses on reducing emissions, managing climate risks, and promoting sustainable practices. Key elements include achieving net zero through decarbonization, assessing the carbon impact of cacao and products, transitioning to sustainable energy, reducing our water footprint, and adopting circular economy principles.

Luker has a longstanding commitment to preventing deforestation and promoting agroforestry, which helps protect biodiversity in the regions where cacao is sourced. As of October 2024, all Luker exports to Europe comply with the European Union’s Deforestation Regulation EUDR.

Luker Chocolate prioritises circular economy by reducing waste, improving packaging, and advancing upcycling initiatives. We enhanced the recyclability of our packaging, supported by clear labeling to facilitate proper disposal. Our upcycling efforts progressed with establishing a dedicated facility for cacao byproducts, and we now have our first upcycled product available on the market. Our zero-waste strategy minimised landfill waste, while water efficiency improvements helped optimise resource use.

Luker Chocolate is committed to reducing its carbon footprint through improved energy efficiency, lower reliance on fossil fuels, and optimised logistics and sourcing. We also support carbon capture initiatives to further minimise our environmental impact.
In 2024, we reduced Scope 1 & 2 emissions by 22% and ensured that 100% of our energy came from renewable sources, making steady progress towards our net-zero goals.


In 2022, Luker initiated its ‘Sunflower’ project. It saw the installation of 396 solar panels on the roof of our production plant in Bogotá – with a total capacity of 238 kilowatts – to increase our use of renewable energy sources. This will reduce 161 tons of carbon emissions every year.

A cocoa producer from the department of Huila, who, through various projects of "The Chocolate Dream", has acquired valuable knowledge about cocoa cultivation and environmental preservation.
