In 2020, we were one of the first companies in this industry to achieve carbon neutrality at all three of our production sites in Germany. It took both big and small steps to achieve this goal.

The biggest step we have taken to reduce our carbon footprint was transitioning to green electricity, which we have now used exclusively since 2015. We also continually strive to optimize our energy consumption – year over year, we manage to use less energy per ton of finished goods. We aim to halve our carbon footprint by 2030. Even the little things help: taking the train instead of flying to business meetings, for example.

Not all carbon emissions can be reduced overnight. This is why we support important, certified climate protection projects around the world. In Peru, for example, where we’re helping to preserve the rainforests and plant more cocoa trees. We’re also a member of Germany’s Climate and Development Alliance, and keep pace with the latest developments so that we can continually optimize our energy usage.
