Schogetten – Energy & Emissions

There are many aspects of life that have an impact on the climate—and this is true of virtually all products. Manufacturing consumes energy, and some of this energy comes from fossil fuels. Using fossil fuels produces carbon dioxide (CO2). CO2 is a greenhouse gas that, when emitted into the atmosphere, amplifies the greenhouse effect, contributing to global warming and climate change. That’s why it is important for us not only to reduce our CO2 emissions, but also to increasingly switch over to renewable sources of energy.

Energy Management and Green Electricity

Producing the delicious Schogetten that we all love consumes energy. Heat is used to melt the chocolate before it is made into Schogetten, and the production process requires electricity. At our Schogetten factories, we work with an energy management system in accordance with ISO 50001 to regulate and track our energy consumption. Since 2025, these factories have used 100% green electricity (power from renewable sources such as water, wind, and solar). Our German factories also operate efficient combined heat and power plants.

Our Goal: Reduced Emissions in Production

Throughout the KRÜGER GROUP, we track our greenhouse gas emissions in accordance with the GHG Protocol—including all three of its scopes since the 2022 reporting year. The information referenced here applies to our Group-wide greenhouse gas accounting and targets, and not specifically to the carbon footprint or climate neutrality of Schogetten as a product.

Our goal is to reduce our footprinted and reported Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions to net zero by 2040. Scope 3 emissions are footprinted and reported, but they are not currently included in this net-zero target. We have not yet submitted our climate targets to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) for validation; this is planned for 2026.
