Climate-friendly factory

AT SIMPLY CHOCOLATE, THE SUN IS OUR BEST FRIEND

Normally, the sun is one of chocolate’s worst enemies, as both sunlight and the heat from the rays damage the chocolate. But at Simply Chocolate, the two are actually best friends, as we have installed our very own solar panel system on our roof. This makes us 100% self-sufficient in energy when the sun is shining.

Sun rays are necessary for cocoa plants to grow, and now they are also necessary for us to produce our chocolate without emitting CO2. A healthy climate is crucial for us to continue growing excellent cocoa beans, and it is natural for us to identify ways to make our production more sustainable.

SMALL DETAILS WITH BIG ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

Being a climate-friendly chocolate factory is also about remembering the small things, as they collectively make a huge difference for the environment. At Simply Chocolate, we took a tour of our facilities and found areas where we could improve to minimize our negative environmental impact. For example, we have intelligent LED lighting that adjusts to daylight and turns off automatically, we have optimized our energy consumption in the production facilities, and we are mindful of our waste sorting. And we continue to work on becoming more sustainable, because no one can do everything, but everyone can do something.
