At Machu Picchu Foods, we produce sustainable chocolates and snacks with triple impact: recycling, environmental impact, and social impact. Through our partnership with ANIQUEM, we turn recoverable waste into life‑changing therapies for children with burn injuries, strengthening our commitment to sustainability and purpose.​

Today more than ever, companies are looking to work with manufacturers that generate real impact. And it’s not just a trend: 73% of global consumers say they are willing to change their habits for brands that reduce their environmental impact (Source: Nielsen, 2024), while global studies show that customers are willing to pay up to 27% more for sustainable products (Source: Deloitte, 2023).​

This market transformation is driving brands to choose partners that integrate purpose into their value chain.​

Our triple impact: Recycling, Environmental Impact, and Social Impact​

The “Recycle to Help” program transforms something as everyday as waste segregation into a system of benefits that generates impact at three essential levels:​

This model ensures that every action inside our facilities contributes simultaneously to the planet, the community and our clients’ value chain, strengthening our sustainable chocolate approach with quantifiable results.​

1. Impact from recycling​​

The first pillar of our triple impact is the responsible recovery of waste. In 2025, thanks to the continuous work of our Callao and Pisco factories, internal campaigns, and the committed participation of our employees, we achieved:​

This volume comes from the management of materials such as paper, cardboard, tires and electronic waste (WEEE), all reincorporated into the formal recycling chain.​

Implementing purposeful recycling requires more than infrastructure: it requires culture. For this reason, Machu Picchu Foods has strengthened segregation practices, allowing circular economy principles to become part of our daily operations.​

2. Environmental impact​

The second pillar of our triple impact is reflected in the reduction of our environmental footprint. Thanks to the proper recovery and valuation of waste in 2025, we achieved:​

These results strengthen our production of sustainable chocolate, as recycled materials require fewer natural resources during reprocessing, reduce the demand for virgin raw materials and lower emissions related to manufacturing, transportation and disposal.​

Each indicator reflects not only environmental efficiency, but also a direct contribution to global climate goals and the ESG commitments of the companies that work with Machu Picchu Foods.​

3. Social impact

The third pillar—one of the most meaningful—is the social impact generated. The economic value obtained by ANIQUEM from the waste delivered by Machu Picchu Foods helps fund comprehensive treatments for children and individuals who have survived burn injuries.​

In 2025, our contribution helped co-finance a full year of:​

In addition, ANIQUEM provides psychological support, wound care, hydrotherapy, compression garment manufacturing, family education and social support, ensuring comprehensive rehabilitation for each patient.​

Recycling stops being only an environmental action and becomes an act of humanity: every kilo recovered directly supports the physical and emotional recovery of those who have gone through critical experiences.​
