VALUING FOOD

High-quality food and raw materials form the foundation of our business operations. Treating them with care is therefore essential to us. By 2025, we had already reduced food waste for solid foods by 48% per metric ton of net product sold.

CONSCIOUS NUTRITION

We continuously and strategically evolve our product portfolio to meet high standards for conscious and balanced nutrition. In doing so, we consistently invest in the well-being, comprehensive protection, and long-term satisfaction of our consumers, while systematically working to provide an even broader range of products for a health-conscious lifestyle.

QUALITY EXPERTS AT WORK

OPTIMIZED RECIPES

Just like aroma and texture, taste is a matter of habit. Over recent years, we have continuously adjusted the recipes for our breads, rolls, and soft drinks to gradually accustom consumers to less sweet or salty taste profiles. With success: We were able to reduce the amount of added sugar per liter of beverage sold by 48%. Likewise, the salt content per kilogram of sold baked goods was reduced by an average of 30% over the same ten-year period.

VERIFIED SUPPLIER APPROVAL

We have implemented a system that enables a documented approval process for our suppliers. This allows supplier information to be centrally coordinated across all relevant departments.

CONSCIOUS USE OF RAW MATERIALS

We continuously work to reduce food waste. Through targeted optimizations in production, we were able to significantly reduce food waste per metric ton of product sold in fiscal year 2025—by 48% for solid foods and 43% for beverages compared to 2017.

ORIGIN AND QUALITY

For raw materials such as cocoa, palm oil, coffee, and tea concentrates, we pay strict attention to origin as well as the conditions during production and processing. For our chocolate and ice cream products, we source exclusively cocoa certified by the Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade. In addition, we rely on RSPO-certified palm oil as well as coffee and tea concentrates certified by the Rainforest Alliance.
