Number of own-brand products from the standard and special-buy ranges with certified sustainable cocoa, as a proportion of the total number of procured products containing cocoa, broken down by certification standard online (in per cent)

In 2019, roughly 97 per cent of the own-brand products containing cocoa used certified sustainable cocoa. The biggest proportion here was attributable to the UTZ certification standard (around 90 per cent), followed by Fairtrade (around 8 per cent, including 1 per cent attributable to items with Fairtrade certification and the EU organic logo) and the EU organic logo (around 0.5 per cent).

Electricity consumption at nearly 1,067 GWh is responsible for the most significant share of energy demand at our locations. It increased by around two per cent. The increase is due to several factors, including longer opening hours and the installation of additional chillers and ovens at stores.

[GRI 305-1/2] Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2

Greenhouse gas emissions Scope 1 and 2 (in tonnes of CO2 equivalents)

Greenhouse gas emissions were calculated on the basis of energy and fuel consumption and refrigerant losses. The calculation is carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Protocol using the DEFRA emission factors or GEMIS for emissions from the sourcing of district heating. In accordance with the GHG Protocol, Scope 2 emissions from electricity consumption have been calculated separately by location-based and market-based emission factors. While the location-based method uses the factors for a specific geographical region (such as a country), a company’s individual electricity mix is used – wherever possible – for the market-based factors by way of the emissions actually generated by the energy producer. The calculation of location-based greenhouse gas emissions is based on the factors specified by the International Energy Agency (IEA).

[GRI 306-2] Amount of waste in Germany

Amount of waste by type of waste (in metric tons)1

The amount of waste in Germany increased slightly compared with 2018. The most significant proportion of the waste generated was attributable to packaging. Hazardous waste, amounting to 382 tonnes, only made up 0.1 per cent of the total waste volume. This includes used oil, oil filters, vehicle batteries and fluorescent tubes containing mercury. To date, it has only been possible to record the amount of waste for our German locations. International recording efforts are planned for the years ahead.

[GRI 306-2] Waste by methods of disposal

Amounts of waste in Germany proportionately by type of disposal (in per cent)1

At roughly 97 per cent, most non-hazardous waste was recovered or recycled (including composting) in 2019.

Waste by methods of disposal

1 Allocation to types of disposal is based partly on estimates.
2
Including incineration for energy recovery.

Water consumption

Water consumption (in cubic meters)1

The increased consumption across countries in 2019 was mainly due to the very hot summer, when the heat made it necessary to irrigate cooling units/external coolers to prevent breakdowns, and to fill and maintain sprinkler systems.

The vocational training model based on the German pattern is not used in all countries, and the data on the number of apprentices is therefore restricted to Denmark, Germany and France. The system used in the Netherlands and Spain is currently not included in recording the performance indicators because the vocational training models are not identical. In Germany, a twin-track work/study degree course with in-service training is also offered.
