Commitment to Safeguard the Environment

Environmental Commitments

Blommer Chocolate Company, as part of the Fuji Oil Group, recognizes that cocoa bean production and processing as well as chocolate manufacturing activities can have an impact on the environment. We are committed to conduct business in an environmentally responsible manner and to provide sound environmental stewardship throughout the value chain by continuously seeking to reduce our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, water consumption, and waste.

In 2025, the Fuji Oil Group formulated it's Environmental Vision 2030/2050 and committed to:

  • Greenhouse Gas (GHG) Emission Reduction Target (Base Year: FY2020)
    FY 2030:   Scope 1+22 Total GHG emissions        42% reduction(b)
          Scope 3 (Category 1)3 Total GHG emissions  25% reduction(b)
          Total emissions of FLAG4 GHG        30.3% reduction(a)
    FY 2050:   Total scope 1, 2 and 3 GHG emissions      Net zero(a)
  • Water consumption reduction target (base year: 2020)
    FY 2030: Reduce water use volume per production volume by 20%(b)
  • Waste reduction target (base year: FY2016)
    FY2030: Reduce waste volume per production volume by 10%

(a) New target
(b) Revised target

  1. Science-based target set by Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) for limiting global mean temperature increases to 1.5°C over pre-industrial levels
  2. Scope 1: Direct emissions from sources that an organization owns or controls
    Scope 2: Indirect emissions from purchased electricity, steam, heat, or cooling
  3. Scope 3: All other indirect emissions, including emissions from the extraction and production of purchased materials and fuels, Category 1 is indirect emissions from purchased products and services.
  4. FLAG (Forest, Land and Agriculture) Refers to the sector related to land use. FLAG emissions represent the combined greenhouse gas emissions of land-use change, land management and carbon removal.

Waste

We believe in the 3 Rs: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle. And we adapt this strategy at all levels, encouraging for more sustainable behaviors everyday.

Blommer is committed to contribute to the Fuji’s Environmental Vision 2030 that aims at reducing waste generated by unit of production by 10% by 2030 (vs. 2016). By implementing an ambitious recycling program in all facilities, diverting waste from landfill and continuously looking at opportunities to generate less waste, we aim at reducing the amount of waste per unit of production by 4% by 2023 (compared to 2019).

Our efforts have led Blommer to divert more than 60% of waste from landfill on average across all facilities in 2019.

Blommer is also fully committed to eliminating food waste. When it can’t be avoided, we have partnered with companies that can repurpose is into mulch or animal feed. For example, our cocoa shells are used to make mulch that can help keep weeds at bay, increase water retention and contributes to soil fertility.
