Sustainability agenda and targets

Cloetta’s overall goal for the sustainability work is to create the conditions for longterm value creation. This means growing as a company, managing risks and identifying opportunities while respecting and managing the impact on people and the environment and fulfilling the expectations of those around Cloetta. Our sustainability mission is to bring our purpose to life: We believe in the Power of True Joy: For you, for people, and for the planet.

Our sustainability agenda “A Sweeter Future” focuses on creating joy and long-lasting value For You, For People and For the Planet. During 2022, progress flavored each area in a different way, including setting concrete targets for our sustainability initiatives, establishing means of reporting on the KPIs, developing our vegan strategy, enriching the social impacts in our supply chain through our partnerships, and activating teams across the organisation to work towards our science-based targets.

As a signatory participant of the UN Global Compact since 2009, we support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), both directly and indirectly through our work in our three pillars. As a fast moving consumer goods business with a global value chain we have chosen to focus on the following six Sustainable Development Goals; Responsible Consumption and Production (#12), Gender Equality (#5), Decent Work and Economic Growth (#8), Climate Action (#13), Life on Land (#15) and Partnerships for the Goals (#17).

Our Agenda

Reflecting the most important topics to our stakeholders and where Cloetta can create the most economic, social, and environmental value, our three pillars demonstrate where we are able to make the Power of True Joy come to life.

For the planet

A healthy planet is the source of all our ingredients – and securing true joy for the future. We make sure to use resources efficiently, lower our climate impact and work towards our science-based target.

Approach:

Climate action, sustainable sourcing, and less and better packaging are our three main priorities in improving our footprint. Within these, we work towards improving the environmental performance of our suppliers, assessing topics like biodiversity, energy usage, waste, and emissions in our own operations but also in our supply chain.

Targets:

  • 46 per cent absolute greenhouse gas emissions reduction by 2030 compared to 2019 base year emissions
  • 100 per cent recyclable packaging by 2025
  • 100 per cent packaging from renewable sources or recycled materials by 2030
  • Engage all key suppliers to set their own emission reduction targets by 2025
  • With palm oil-based vegetable oils, we will continue to source 100 per cent RSPO segregated certified palm oil
