How to create chocolate sweets in harmony with the environment?
One of the key elements of implementing sustainable development in chocolate production is the origin of raw materials. Cocoa Horizons Certification bearing witness to the sustainable cocoa crops, it is an important element in the production of chocolate sweets. Sweet, as the only company in the industry, can offer chocolate and praline raw materials that come from certified, fully sustainable sources. It is worth remembering that MThe goal of the Cocoa Horizons Foundation is not only to increase the income of cocoa farmers, but also to support sustainable agricultural development, protect the environment, care for local communities and educate children.
In the context of the current crisis in the cocoa market, when farmers often face low incomes and problems related to climate and environmental changes, Cocoa Horizons certification is becoming a vital tool. With this certificate, consumers can be sure that products obtained from plantations that have this certificate are produced sustainably, and their purchase contributes to supporting responsible agricultural practices and improving the living conditions of farmers.
In the Sweet range, in addition to classic solutions, you can also find NTX generation vegan chocolate. Ingredients of plant origin, such as tubers of the chufa plant, were used in the production of this chocolate. This makes chocolate not only better for consumers ' health, but also for the planet. Choosing this "dairy" alternative helps to reduce CO2 emissions, reduce water and energy consumption, and reduce the demand for agricultural land. The manufacturer received an award for this chocolate offer at 21. report " Responsible business in Poland. Good practices"”

Among the brand's eco-friendly solutions, there was also a chocolate couverture-WholeFruit. She was completely made from pure cocoa fruit: free of vanilla, lecithin, and refined sugar. For its production, the entire fruit is consumed, which is why it owes its unique aroma. As the manufacturer notes: this is the healthiest and most organic chocolate you can imagine..
Another Sweet sustainability activity application of eco-friendly packaging. In response to these problems, manufacturers produce packaging made not only from biodegradable or recyclable materials, but also from compostable ones. In when ordering mini-candies from the Sweet offer, we suggest using 100% biodegradable packaging in the form of parchment and a wrapper made of FSC-certified paper, which remains until the customer is fully configured. This is another step for the company to create an environmentally responsible business. – adds Anna Garmada.
Moreover, in an effort to minimize the negative impact on the environment, Sweet also invests in eco-friendly transportusing electric vehicles powered by renewable energy sources.
Paper sticks, compostable film, FSC certified paper packaging or NXT Dairy Free (100% plant based) chocolate are our standard in offering – Anna Garmada explains.
Sustainable development is increasingly making a bold presence in chocolate production. Google is at the forefront of this transformation, driven by ethical values and concern for the planet and people. Their actions not only inspire other companies, but also take an important step towards a better future for everyone.
