AT HOME
We produce our chocolate in an environmental- ly-friendly plant, that allows us to increase our efficien- cy in terms of energy and water consumption, and to constantly reduce waste.
A trigeneration plant that simultaneously and auton- omously produces electricity, steam and cold water from one single energy source, allowing us to satisfy all of our energy needs for the entire production line. The remaining energy needs are sourced exclusively from renewable providers.
Ever aware of the essential importance of water as a re- source, we have transformed all the water cooling and heating systems for the production line into closed cir-
cuits. We have replaced the system of air conditioning with machines cooled by air or by closed circuit water. We collect rain water in a decanting reservoir, where it is cleaned and introduced into the production cycle for any processes not involved in the alimentary line.
Finally, following a circular saving model, we have formed many partnerships over the years to give a second life to our waste. Since 2011, we have reduced organic waste by 45%, with a figure of 3,4% in 2020. The leftover residues of cocoa beans are destined for feed and biomass energy generation facilities, and the cocoa husks are used as organic fertiliser by producers in the plantations.
