Eco Conservation
Reducing our environmental footprint at home while supporting farmers abroad are cornerstones to Cultivate Better. Providing cocoa farmers with resilience to climate change is essential to the long-term sustainability of the cocoa sector. With cocoa as a global agricultural product, it’s equally important to continue our efforts toward reducing our carbon emissions in our crafting and production process. It’s an ongoing journey that requires innovative thinking to create long-term sustainable solutions.
COCOA AND FORESTS INITIATIVE
Our chocolate maker has joined forces with other industry members to address cocoa-related deforestation and ensure the protection and restoration of forests for a thriving cocoa community. Providing cocoa farmers with resilience to climate change is important to the long-term sustainability of the cocoa sector. Their participation in the Cocoa & Forests Initiative represents our commitment to forest conservation and the promotion of climate smart agricultural practices like crop diversification, agroforestry, composting, and soil health.
