individual products and are working on developing alternative recipes.

socially compatible palm oil. Today, the RSPO, along with legal requirements,
is the only instrument for promoting environmentally friendly plantations.

electricity requirements. We also use the groundwater to cool the entire
ChocoDromo and the production facilities.
