Is Haribo sustainable?
We do not yet score enough Haribo products to give the brand a sustainability rating. Haribo aims to make all packaging recyclable, reusable, or compostable by 2025 in Germany but lacks a published carbon reduction target or deforestation-free palm oil policy.
We read sustainability as verifiable practice, not marketing: third-party certification, packaging design, sourcing disclosure and published, dated targets. Claims without evidence score as unverified.
