Sustainability
729 square meter solar system
At Simply® we feel deeply committed to taking action and leading the fight against climate change. From cocoa bean to finished chocolate bar, it is nature that is our most important ally, so it is crucial that we take care of it. We are aware of our responsibility, and our green chocolate hearts beat to make a difference. We believe, in general, that responsible chocolate simply tastes better.
At Simply®, the sun is our best friend
Normally, the sun is one of chocolate’s worst foes – both sunlight and the heat from the rays help to spoil chocolate. But for us, the two are actually best friends. In our work to promote sustainability, we are proud of our solar panel system, which was installed on the factory roof 3 years ago. This means that we are 100% self-sufficient with clean and lasting energy at the factory when the sun shines. A measure that has had a markedly positive effect on the environment. At present, our solar panel system has contributed to a CO2 reduction of over 150 tons, while we have produced more than 6,500,000 chocolate bars solely using solar energy. This is more than just a number – it is an example of how we combine our love for chocolate with a conscious effort to care for our earth. So yes, we smile a little extra at the factory when the weather forecast says blue skies over Amager.
Sustainable packaging
At Simply® we are part of an industry that traditionally uses non-sustainable packaging. Therefore, we are firmly determined to reach our goal, namely to use 100% recyclable packaging. But we depend on boxes and foil fitting well around the chocolate, as even the most beautiful and best tempered chocolate turns gray and loses its crispness if it is not properly wrapped. With some of our products, we have already reached our goal of full recyclability; elsewhere we are still testing options to ensure that the sustainable solution complies with both food safety and quality. Compromise is not part of the recipe at Simply®.
Small changes, big differences
Our commitment to sustainability does not stop at the packaging of our products. We also continuously and actively work to optimize our production methods and supply chain to minimize energy consumption and reduce waste. We believe that it is through a holistic approach that encompasses all aspects of our business that we can create a lasting positive impact on the environment. By choosing Simply®, our customers support not only a passion for chocolate, but also our commitment to a sustainable future.
One step at the time
Chocolate with a clear conscience
At Simply®, we feel strongly committed to taking action and leading the way. We are not perfect, and we are not on track yet with our high ambitions – but we are on our way, and we will not lower the bar of ambition in order to reach the goal faster. Instead, we believe that every step and every action counts. We are aware of our responsibility, and our green chocolate hearts beat to make a difference. We generally believe that responsible chocolate just tastes better.
