Sustainability is at the heart of Barry Callebaut, representing one of our four strategic pillars. In 2016, we launched Forever Chocolate, the next chapter in our long-standing commitment to building a sustainable cocoa and chocolate supply chain.

We aspire to have good corporate governance that develops trust and engagement between Barry Callebaut and its stakeholders.

Barry Callebaut has, throughout the years, been recognized with a multitude of awards for its commitment to sustainability, pioneering innovations, and for creating inspiring infrastructures including warehouses and offices.

At Barry Callebaut our values represent a mindset and way of doing business that is committed to generating sustainable earnings over time and creating long-term value for all stakeholders. We are dedicated to running all our operations with transparency and integrity, including reporting on our social, environmental and governance (ESG) management and risks.

Our sixth Forever Chocolate progress report, covering fiscal year 2021/22, shows that we continue to scale up our activities by partnering with customers as well as societal and industry stakeholders to create tangible impact on the ground, while at the same time publicly advocating for policies to make sustainable chocolate the norm.

As part of our Forever Chocolate Strategy, Barry Callebaut has committed to sourcing 100% sustainable ingredients by 2025. Our Supplier Code and Sustainable Sourcing Policies lay out the framework for our sustainable sourcing activities and have recently been updated in collaboration with various stakeholders in order to reflect our Forever Chocolate strategy and ambitions.
