Cooperation with Plant-for-the-Planet

The Chocolate Museum Cologne has been operated in a climate-friendly manner since 2019. 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, the museum is achieving a positive climate balance.

The Chocolate Museum has entered into a partnership with the children's and youth initiative "Plant-for-the-Planet". In Mexico, Plant-for-the-Planet plants a new tree every 15 seconds. However, the restoration of forests is a challenging task that requires a long-term and holistic approach. With the Restoration Research Park on the Yucatán Peninsula, Plant-for-the-Planet has established a center for applied forest restoration research. Among other things, it is investigating how damaged forests can be restored on a large scale and how lost species can be brought back, which methods are most effective in different ecosystems and how forests can withstand the challenges of the climate crisis.
