Polar Bears International and VICKS partner to protect polar bears and the sea ice they depend on.
From the beginning, the family-owned confectionary, Katjes (kaht yes), exclusive licensee of VICKS in Europe (WICK in Germany), has been guided by sustainability. As part of their ongoing commitment to a healthy environment, they regularly review their energy and water consumption, have carbon-neutral production facilities, use nearly 100% green electricity, exclude palm oil from their ingredients, and support global climate protection projects and nonprofits—such as Polar Bears International.As the only nonprofit with a sole focus on polar bears and their sea ice home, Polar Bears International sees climate action as the only hope to ensure the long-term survival of polar bears and people.
Big, brilliant, and built for cold, polar bears are the very symbol of a wild Arctic. Yet despite their size and strength, they need our help to survive the coming decades.
From their origin story and characteristics to their habitat and diet, we’re giving you an in-depth look into the life of a polar bear.
Follow wild polar bears and learn how their movements are linked to the changing sea ice.
Learn about the threats polar bears face — including the biggest one of all: climate warming.
In 2020, Katjes’s three Germany locations went 100% carbon neutral, becoming one of the first companies in the industry to do so.
