REDUCING OUR CARBON EMISSIONS
We are committed to reducing our carbon emissions while promoting sustainable growth across our business. Our climate strategy aligns with the Task Force on Climate-related Financial Disclosures (TCFD) recommendations, a globally recognised framework that ensures transparency and accountability in climate reporting. This includes active board-level oversight, clear decarbonisation targets, and focused actions to lower our environmental impact
- Our commitment to achieving net-zero emissions by 2050 has been officially validated by the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi), a leading global authority on climate targets.

GHG EMISSIONS
As defined by the Greenhouse Gas Protocol (GHG Protocol), our emissions are categorized into scopes that reflect internationally accepted standards for measuring and managing greenhouse gas emissions:

These are greenhouse gas emissions from sources owned or controlled by the company. In our case, they come mainly from the use of natural gas in our production plant and fugitive emissions from refrigerants used in the chocolate tempering process.

These are emissions from the generation of electricity or energy that the company purchases and consumes. Within our company, Scope 2 includes only electricity used in our Colombian facilities, which comes from 100% renewable sources backed by I-REC certificates.

These include all other indirect emissions that occur throughout a company’s value chain, such as those from suppliers, distribution, and waste. For our company, Scope 3 emissions mainly stem from logistics, the processing of non-cocoa ingredients, and product packaging.

COMPOSITION OF OUR CARBON FOOTPRINT

OUR STRATEGY
- Operational Efficiency
- Energy and Industrial Emissions
- FLAG
Scope 1 & 2 – Operational Efficiency
Scope 3 – Energy and Industrial Emissions:
We reduce packaging materials, shift to more sustainable and recycled (PCR) options, and enhance logistical efficiency with lower-emission transport. We have a “Sustainable Supplier Programme” that enables direct engagement with key suppliers. Internally, we foster sustainable mobility and environmental culture among our team through targeted campaigns, waste reduction initiatives, and effective waste separation practices.
FLAG - Forest, Land and Agriculture Emissions
Through our sustainability plan, The Chocolate Dream, we work with cacao farmers to tackle deforestation, enhance productivity, optimise fertiliser use, manage waste effectively, and promote carbon capture. We are also conducting research into productivity improvements and climate resilience.
