🎖️ Podium finish for Ritter Sport 🎖️ By ranking us third in the 2026 Chocolate Scorecard, the Be Slavery Free initiative confirms us a responsible cocoa sourcing. For us, our cocoa programmes and collaboration with our partners in cocoa-growing countries are not an afterthought, but a matter of course. A key driver of resilience, quality and sustainability. What we have already achieved in our cocoa programmes: 🌱 100% certified cocoa for the entire Ritter Sport range since 2018 🌱 99% traceability back to the farm - thanks to our segregated sourcing, we have a particularly high level of transparency in the supply chain 🌱 Long-term cocoa programmes in all countries of origin to specifically improve social, environmental and economic conditions in cultivation 🌱 Agreed purchase volumes with our producer partners, which creates predictability and reliability in long-term partnerships 🌱 Our own sustainable cocoa cultivation at our cocoa farm "El Cacao" using agroforestry in accordance with the principles of integrated agriculture And why is this important? 🍫 Greater transparency builds trust - among consumers, trading partners, stakeholders and, above all, cocoa farmers 🍫 More sustainable cultivation strengthens supply security, precisely because climate change is already affecting the availability, quality and prices of cocoa 🍫 Responsible supply chains must not become a competitive factor - they must be a matter of course For us, therefore, our current position is far more than just a ranking success: it shows that consistent investment in traceability, more sustainable farming and long-term partnerships has a real impact - for our supply chain and for a more responsible chocolate industry. #ChocolateScorecard #SupplyChain #Transparency #Cocoa #Responsibility
