FARMING PROGRAM

High-quality cocoa is at the heart of our chocolate. It is our most important raw material, and we are committed to sourcing it responsibly. That's why we developed our own responsible sourcing program for cocoa, the Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program. Through the Farming Program, we aim to create decent and resilient livelihoods for cocoa farmers and their families and to encourage more sustainable farming practices. In 2024, 118,000 farmers participated in the Farming Program with 770 field staff working for the program... After achieving our goal to source 100% of our cocoa beans through the Farming Program in 2020, we extended the program to include cocoa butter in 2021 and cocoa powder in 2022. In 2024, we sourced 84.2% of our cocoa products, which includes beans, butter, powder, through the Farming Program or other responsible sourcing programs. We invested CHF 33.6 million in the responsible sourcing of cocoa in 2024... In 2024, we sourced 84.2% of cocoa bean equivalents -..
