Responsible Supply Chain

Our approach

When it comes to responsibility for our supply chain, we focus on the procurement of raw materials and production. To us, responsible procurement means: promoting transparency and traceability in order to identify and address specific problems for more sustainability. In our production we are working on reducing our CO2 footprint.

We use the following raw materials:

Wheat, sugar, eggs, cocoa, palm fat, milk products, nuts

Sourcing of raw materials

What have we achieved so far?

  • Cocoa: 100 percent from sustainable cultivation in Mass Balance quality
  • Palm oil: 100 percent RSPO-certified
  • Wheat: 90 percent from controlled contract farming
  • Eggs: at least from barn hens

Where do we go from here?

  • Wheat: 100 percent from controlled contract farming until 2023
  • Milk products and nuts: Identification of critical issues in our supply chain

Responsible Production

What have we achieved so far?

  •     We only use green energy at all locations.
  •     We have been using solar energy at the Barsinghausen production site and the logistics centre in Langenhagen since 2020 and at the Hanover site since 2022.
  •     The Varel production site has been covering 30 per cent of its energy requirements with wind power since 2021.
