HIGH-QUALITY BEVERAGES
THAT CARE FOR THE PLANET

Just like you, we want to do better for our planet. Here's where you can get to know our goals towards a better future, and the action steps that will help us get there. We share this initiatives with you so that you can share it with your customers too!

Packaging that looks after the planet

VH-packaging

Our new packaging is around the corner! In 2024, you'll be able to enjoy some of the new Van Houten and Caprimo recycle-ready packs. The new packs are made from polyolefin materials (PP / PE) that can be recycled in selected European countries, for example Germany, Austria and Belgium. If the waste streams are not yet developed, the material can be incinerated with energy recovery.

Responsible production sites

Have you heard of our Kågeröd factory in Sweden? This was our first factory to operate 100% on renewable energy, with the site's electricity coming from hydropower.

Operations for a greener future

Barry-callebaut-chester-production

In 2021, we reviewed our Chester (UK) operations site as we set ambitious sustainability goals. This year, the site registered an energy consumption decrease of 35,000 kwH per year, it's completely gas-use free, and successfully runs a full recycling process.

Forever Chocolate: our goals and initiatives

Barry Callebaut strives for more than sustainable ingredients. We want to make sustainability the norm. With this objective, Forever Chocolate was born — an ambitious plan that sets measurable goals and action steps to reshape the chocolate industry in the next years.

We're part of Cocoa Horizons

cocoa-horizons

This means more than sustainable cocoa in our brands (Van Houten, Caprimo, Satro Quality Drinks). It means supporting the pillars that hold together this programme, established by Barry Callebaut: improving the livelihood and productivity of farmers, empowering their communities, and having a positive impact on the environment.

Our certifications: create with trust

The sustainability efforts of our brands translate into yours: that's the reason why we work with different certifications such as Fair Trade, organic, and Rain Forest Alliance. This way, we help you create to become your consumers' conscious choice.
