Our Commitment to a Better Future

We take our responsibility to the planet seriously and are dedicated to driving positive change across our industry through responsible sourcing, ethical standards and reduced emissions and waste.

Shaping a Sweeter, More Sustainable Future

At OV, we believe that creating joy through confectionery goes hand in hand with caring for the world around us.
We focus on reducing food waste, sourcing responsibly and designing products that offer more sustainable everyday choices.

For several years, we have been actively involved in rainforest preservation and work purposefully to ensure that the raw materials used in OV products do not contribute to deforestation.

Energy

65% of our total energy consumption comes from renewable sources.
We are increasing our share of renewable energy across our facilities to reduce our environmental footprint and support global clean energy transitions.

Waste

  • 20% reduction in waste vs. 2024.
    We are improving resource efficiency and minimising overall waste generation across our operations.
  • Zero waste to landfill.
    This commitment ensures that waste from our facilities is systematically reused, recycled, or recovered rather than sent to landfill.

Ethical

We uphold high ethical standards and responsible sourcing practices for all employees and partners.

  • UTZ / Rainforest Alliance / Fairtrade cocoa
  • RSPO-certified palm oil
  • Use of natural ingredients where possible

Packaging

100% compliance with PPWR requirements for EU/EEA based companies.
All packaging used by our EU/EEA operations meets the obligations set out by the EU Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR), aligning our products with circular economy goals.

People & Society

OV is a responsible employer, ensuring safe workplaces, zero injuries and a culture of integrity.
Our local community engagement initiatives aim to create a positive and lasting difference.

Our Aim

We aim to be part of the solution, not part of the problem.
