Sustainability: climate-conscious since 2019
With concrete measures such as the use of green electricity, biodegradable packaging, the retirement of CO2 emission rights and support for a reforestation project in Mexico, the Chocolate Museum is achieving a positive carbon footprint.
Our sustainability strategy was revised in 2021. It forms the basis for our measures in the coming years.
Annette Imhoff and Dr. Christian Unterberg-Imhoff: Our commitment to sustainability
As a family business, the long-term orientation of our entrepreneurial activities is the main pillar of our success. The guiding principles developed by the Chocolate Museum are an outstanding basis for far-reaching activities.
Sustainability activities
In 2016, we set ourselves the goal of making our museum climate-neutral by 2023 at the latest. The dramatic developments in recent years have prompted us to accelerate our original plan. With concrete measures such as the use of green electricity, biodegradable packaging, the decommissioning of CO2 emission rights and support for a reforestation project in Mexico, we even managed to ensure that the Chocolate Museum has had a positive carbon footprint since 2019!
Education for sustainable development
The topic of sustainable development is an integral part of the museum's mission statement. In our exhibition, visitors are informed about the problematic working and living conditions of people in the cocoa-growing countries as well as the ecological challenges of cocoa cultivation. Using current examples, we show how companies and organizations are working to improve the difficult situation.
