New Standards for Chocolate
International Collaborations in the Cocoa Industry
Pioneer for Sutainable Cocoa Cultivation
These projects in three cocoa districts in Ghana became pioneering work for the entire industry, establishing sustainable cocoa cultivation, wells, schools, and education. Today’s recognised certification programmes and standards are strongly inspired by the experiences of Toms Group’s early commitment.
From Steam Boilers to Solar Panels
Knowledge sharing with tomorrow's consumers
For years, Toms Gruppen has educated tomorrow’s consumers in various aspects of chocolate production. Already in the 1950s, school classes were invited to come to the factory at Amager, and since then it has been a proud tradition to share important knowledge with thousands of Danish school children.
Sweets and chocolates do not solely bring fun and delightful moments, as an unbalanced intake is unhealthy. Therefore, Toms Group prioritizes to educate the consumers to making conscious choices and reach a balanced intake.
Today, the safety and hygiene requirements do not allow us to invite visitors close to the production lines, and our education programmes therefore go out to the schools. For example, in the form of experience boxes where students get hands-on with cocoa and chocolate materials, while virtual teaching courses add knowledge about raw material origin, production processes, declarations, marketing, energy balance and tasting.
