Plant-for-the-Planet

The Chocolate Museum Cologne is climate-neutral. We use green electricity, biodegradable packaging and support the reforestation program “Plant for the Planet” in Mexico. The Museum reaches a positive climate balance. The Chocolate Museum planted together with Plant-for-the-planet 33.000 trees in 2020, located on the Yucatán peninsula in Mexico and has helped withdraw more CO2 from the atmosphere than it has emitted.

Oro Verde Logo

Oro Verde

We lay special attention to our two in-house topics chocolate and coffee. That is why we support the organization Oro Verde with 15 € for each wedding being held in our house.
By cultivating protective agricultural methods of coffee and chocolate Oro Verde protects the rainforest in Guatemala and the Dominican Republic and creates a living space for animals and plants. Furthermore, Oro Verde educates and strengthens the local farmers in farming techniques as well as in marketing activities.

Foodsharing Logo

Foodsharing

Being a gastronomic business, we sometimes have to deal with food leftovers. In order to minimize the wastage of remaining food we have installed a food sharing concept. This way we distribute the leftovers in-house to our employees and their families.
