We invest around seven million euros a year in our cocoa programmes in Middle and South America and in West Africa.

ASSURED ORIGIN
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.
