Minor products can be enjoyed with a clear conscience as they are Max Havelaar certified.
Max Havelaar Fairtrade certification guarantees that our products have been fairly traded. For example, the payment of minimum prices to cocoa farmers and a Fairtrade premium are central elements of the certification. In addition, it is also committed to protecting children from child labour through its standards and with the assistance of employees of the producer networks on site. Compliance with Fairtrade standards is monitored by FLOCERT, an independent organisation.

Naturally, the procurement of raw materials and production of chocolate give rise to CO2. Maestrani has been reducing its CO2 emissions for many years (more information can be found in our Sustainability Report). Currently, however, it has only been possible to reduce part of the CO2 emissions and we therefore offset 100% of the remaining emissions in the entire value chain. To this end, we have set up the "Efficient Cookers in Peru" carbon offset project with the myclimate organisation. This project aims to reduce CO2 emissions, improve the living conditions of the local population in the long term and protect Peruvian forests.
We would like to start further initiatives in this important area in the future and document these offsets. In addition, we will of course continue to pursue our consistent path of reduction in the future.
