Solar Energy

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 a large solar panel system on the roof of our factory in Copenhagen. 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.

Carbon-neutral transport

The system means that we will reduce our CO2 emissions by an amount comparable to the annual energy consumption of 25 private households. At the same time, we are working with our chocolate supplier to ensure that our shipping from Belgium to Copenhagen becomes 100% carbon-neutral. According to our plan, we will reach this goal in 2025.
