Our Commitment to Sustainability


Sustainability is built into our strategy, purpose and business goals.

We’re doing our bit to make a difference.

We’re making sustainable choices across our enterprise to save money and protect our planet.
 
We use Cargill Vanova, crafted from 100% sustainable cocoa, ensuring that every batch of chocolate contributes to a better future for our planet. Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate is dedicated to advancing the cocoa sector by improving the lives of cocoa farmers and their communities. Their focus is on ensuring the sustainability of cocoa production across five origin countries, aiming to secure a thriving future for both cocoa and chocolate industries. The Cargill Cocoa Promise™ program focuses on helping cocoa farmers and their communities achieve better incomes and living standards while promoting sustainable cocoa farming. Through this initiative, Cargill works to ensure a more sustainable and equitable future for both cocoa farmers and the broader cocoa industry.

Our Sustainability strategy has been built into our purpose. We’re building a sustainable future through our commitments to tackle the main challenges facing planet earth.

 

 

We’ve worked hard to ensure we minimise waste across all areas of the chocolate production. The majority of our ranges are made to order, we recycle and reuse as much as possible across the site, our team are trained in minimising waste, and we’ve updated our storage facilities.

By 2026 we will reduce our waste even further by a minimum of 20%.

 

Minimising Waste
We are currently reviewing our packaging and plan to reduce the amount of plastic we use by 50% in 2026.


For one of our most popular products, lollipops, we no longer use plastic sticks, we use biodegradable wood and paper sticks.

We're looking at ways we can package our full range attractively, offer a level of protection for transportation but remain sustainable and reduce the amount of plastic we use.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Environment

 

At our Knaresborough site, we have plans to develop outdoor spaces with bee-friendly flowers, sensory plants that provide calm for individuals with autism, and a focus on supporting local wildlife. The Hub team plays an active role in maintaining these outdoor areas, contributing to the site's commitment to both environmental sustainability and the well-being of our community.
