- A BVE/AFC study of 330 representatives identified rising procurement costs as the greatest risk; 81 percent faced them, versus 65 percent citing availability.
- As their main response, 70 percent are diversifying supply chains; more than half are adjusting their procurement strategies.
- For product crises, 97 percent report being prepared; however, only 20 percent have introduced a comprehensive resilience-management system.
- Eighty-eight percent invest in IT and network security, 84 percent use multilevel data backups, and two-thirds have an information-security management system.
Companies must know their critical processes and dependencies, run through scenarios, and establish clear structures for prevention, response, and restart.— Lena Meinders, CEO of AFC Risk & Crisis Consult, emphasized in the press release that the industry has made important progress but still has potential.

- Ritter Sport increased sales by approximately 17.7 percent to €712 million in 2025 but recorded a financial loss despite the growth.
- Rising expenses for cocoa, energy, logistics, and packaging caused the operating result to fall well below expectations.
- Price hikes were only partially passed to retailers, leading to reduced sales volumes in Germany’s price-sensitive chocolate market.
- The company is working on simplifying costs, prioritizing investments, and considering potential workforce impacts affecting around 1,900 employees.
Revenue is not the same as profit – what matters is whether a company can sustainably cover its costs.— Ritter Sport CEO Andreas Ronken on the current financial situation of the company.
