Sustainability

This wonderful planet that we live on is a masterpiece indeed.  We also like to think that our little chocolate business is a masterpiece as well.  In order to do our part to sustain this beautiful planet alongside sustaining our business we have taken a good hard look at the use of packaging, and manufacturing items in our stores and in our chocolate kitchen. 

About us

We're proud to be a part of the Cocoa Horizons Foundation

Supporting Better Chocolate, From the Ground Up

A sustainability initiative that supports cocoa farmers through education, improved livelihoods, and ethical, traceable sourcing.

By choosing chocolate made through this program, you're helping create a more responsible and rewarding future for the people behind every bean

Recycling Practices

Areas of Opportunity

Sustainability is a Journey

There are some items in chocolate production that are a challenge to change without compromising food safety however we are searching for alternatives

Hair Nets

These get reused as much as possible (by the same person) but do breakdown and need to be thrown out.

Piping bags

We are looking for compostable ones unfortunately they need to be able to be composted with residual chocolate in them.

Latex Gloves

We are looking at compostable/biodegradable alternatives.

Petite Treat Boxes

These boxes aren't from an FSC certified paper, but the supplier has assured us it is still from sustainable sources.

Plastic Trays

We are looking for food safe alternatives that look after our chocolates, so they still look beautiful when you open the box.

Chocolate Bar Foil

We are looking for food safe alternatives that look after our chocolate so they still look beautiful when you unwrap the bar
