See how Barry Callebaut employees are helping nature to thrive:

Today Barry Callebaut joins thousands, if not millions around the globe celebrating International Women’s Day.

Barry Callebaut launched its first Forever Chocolate Pilot in Indonesia. This is the first of a series of five pilot programs planned in cocoa origin countries that are intended to test theories of change in our quest to accelerate impact in sustainable cocoa production. We aim to increase the income of farmers, eradicate child labor and become carbon positive. Oliver Von Hagen, who is responsible for the Forever Chocolate pilots, provides further details.

The Cocoa Horizons Foundation has released its year-end review highlighting the efforts and achievements it has implemented in 2016/17.

If the chocolate industry does not commit to reducing its carbon footprint and achieve zero net deforestation in its supply chain, the ecosystems that provide chocolate ingredients will rapidly erode. Obviously, we could not let that happen.

Zurich - The Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa was launched today, and Barry Callebaut is proud to be one of the founding members. This platform will play an important role in creating the market pull for sustainably sourced cocoa.
