Sustainability

We recognise that, in conducting our business, we have an impact on the environment and therefore a shared responsibility to minimise the depletion of natural resources, reduce waste, and address climate change.

Cocoa Sustainability

67% of our cocoa comes from certified schemes from Barry Callebaut. The schemes are Rainforest Alliance and Fairtrade.

Ecological protection

We are aware of our impact on the environment which is why we are moving to RSPO palm derivatives from sustainable sources.

Recycling

We are committed to reducing waste by responsibly storing, collecting, and recycling materials such as oils, light tubes, aerosols, cabling, and metal.

Sustainability is an integral part of Walkers Chocolates corporate philosophy, and we are taking steps every day to become a more
sustainable business. Our Borehole project is an expression of our commitment to this sustainable journey.
