How can warehouses contribute to sustainable cocoa supply chains? Reducing our own impact on the environment Contributing to lower carbon footprint of the entire supply chain by generating enough energy to cover own needs and supply back to the grid, thereby reducing carbon emissions of energy production

Some examples: Straddle carrier storing energy from downward movement to reduce energy use for upward movement Replacing diesel fork lift trucks by electric ones Circular economy: Supply used cocoa bags to automotive industry to stuff car seats Waste separation

CWT: We lower our carbon foot print as much as possible by, installing LED lighting in offices and warehouses. Electric forklifts powered by solar load stations. In Ghana our Tema location is running on solar power with battery back up its the first in the group with a 100% change over. In this year we will install 120.000 m2 of solar panels on the roof of our warehouses, partly own use and the balance for onward delivery. Heating systems changed into heatpumps Company cars as much as possible electric or hybrid. Iso 9001 & 22000

Pacorini Antwerp: 100% self sufficient power supply through solar panels Electronic fork lifts All trucks minimum EUR 5 engines, new ones EUR 6 ISO 14001 Lean & Green and CO2 Neutral certifications

EWF Policy: Development of a standard for sustainable warehousing Management Buildings: office and sheds Equipment Warehousing process Loading in Storage Loading out Development of a calculator to measure the carbon footprint reduction in warehousing in the entire supply chain

Potential impact of warehouses can be fully developed by Long term relation with customers, so warehouse and trade/industry can optimise carbon footprint reductions in supply chains Terminal markets differentiating between warehouses with active environmental policies and others, so investments pay out Local authorities promoting investments in sustainable warehouses

Other warehouses can benefit from EWF’s policies The EWF standard can be applied by other warehouses, for instance in cocoa producing countries The calculation tool will be available for other warehouses and supply chain partners

Thank you For your attention
