Luker is dedicated to protecting Colombia's biodiversity by engaging in various initiatives such as reforestation and desertification efforts, promoting sustainable agriculture, training environmental watchers, implementing balanced ecological practices, and educating children on environmental protection. Collectively, these efforts support Luker's mission to preserve Colombia's diverse ecosystems.
Luker is actively reducing its environmental impact by fully treating all its industrial wastewater and collecting rainwater for operational use. Furthermore, we have also committed to renewable energy, installing solar panels on our production facility. Since 2023, all corporate operations, including the chocolate factory, are powered by 100% renewable sources, verified by I-REC standards.
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.
