28 Nov 2019 --- Barry Callebaut’s Forever Chocolate strategy includes the objective of storing more carbon than it emits by 2025. Together with its partner, The Gold Standard Foundation, the Swiss company has developed a methodology to verify how much carbon emissions can be reduced and removed at farm level and in cocoa growing communities. Since launching its overarching strategy, it highlights a 12 percent reduction of its carbon footprint per metric ton of product. The cocoa and chocolate giant further outlines a 6.7 percent reduction of its carbon footprint by from 9.10 million tons to 8.5 million metric tons, while hitting a 5 percent volume growth.
