Think Green!

In view of the prevailing ecological and social situation of our world every one is challenged to reflect on that and, of course, to follow up these reflections with deeds. The ecologic footprint per European measures 4.7 hectares. However, the surface which is available worldwide would only allow 1.8 hectare per inhabitant. For this reason we are required to slow down in order to stop exploiting the capacities of our earth. In other words this means that we bear responsibility and should no longer live at the expense of the poorest people of this world.

For many years   z o t t e r   has proven that this attitude turns out to be economically successful. Apart from the decision to use only organic and fair trade raw materials there is a variety of other things which may be contributed to the topic eco-social economy in everyday life.

• “Cocoa instead of poverty” – a project with 3 Nicaraguan cocoa cooperatives
• Dairy products from organic mountain farmers of Tyrol
• Green electricity for the production
• Cocoa shells which are not thrown into the dustbin but are used for heating purposes
• Organic meals for the employees
• Environmentally friendly colours and packaging without glossy coating
• The electromobile of the boss
• and much more

Because changes also take place in everyday life.
