We make sustainable chocolate the norm!
Forever Chocolate is our plan to make sustainable chocolate the norm. Launched in 2016, the Forever Chocolate targets for 2025 are unique in terms of ambition in the cocoa and chocolate industry. In 2023 we presented our sharpened targets adding new measurable targets for 2030 and beyond.
Forever Chocolate is focusing on four pillars - Prospering Farmers, Human Rights, Thriving Nature, Sustainable Ingredients, addressing the material challenges in the cocoa and chocolate supply chain.
