Today, on Earth Day, we are beyond excited to share what we have been working on: our Chocolate Foodprint 2025 is live!

It measures our holistic impact on nature, people, and the preservation of rare cacao varietals across the entire value chain.

Every couverture and every incredible creation our partners make with it is proof that chocolate can do more: protect forests, support farmers, and preserve rare cacao and its quality.

Together, we are:
ACTIVISTS.
CUSTODIANS.
CONNOISSEURS.

This is our ongoing promise to do better for people and the planet.
And with every choice you make, it becomes real.

Thank you to all our partners who make this possible. You are the driving force behind the change we bring about! 🌱🌎

Together, 100% regenerative.

Foodprint Testimonials: Hernan | Taste & Quality Focus 🔍

For Hernan, cacao is far more than a crop. As part of the Arhuaco community in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta, he sees cacao as a sacred plant that connects land, people, and ancestral wisdom.

Together with his community, Hernan cultivates cacao through ancestral permaculture, where cacao grows alongside shade trees, plantains, bananas, and fruit trees. This biodiversity protects soil and water, regenerates forests, and allows cacao to develop its full aromatic complexity and taste of origin.

For Hernan, quality begins long before tasting notes. It is rooted in respect for the land, the plant, and the post-harvest process, where fermentation and drying unlock the bean’s aroma, flavour, and vitality with care and precision.

Chocolate Foodprint 2025 | Taste & Quality Focus 🍫
The third pillar of our Chocolate Foodprint is where flavour meets preservation.

ZERO additives, no lecithin, no vanilla.
46,320 beans checked by hand.
10 rare cacao varietals preserved in cacao forests.

Great chocolate begins in origin. Together with our partners, we preserve the purity, diversity, and sensory richness of cacao by protecting rare varietals at the source. By using zero additives, no lecithin, and no vanilla, we allow the true taste of origin to shine through in every chocolate we make. Over 46,320 beans were checked by hand to ensure exceptional quality and consistency, bean by bean. And by working with 10 rare cacao varietals grown in cacao forests, we help preserve genetic diversity and protect their pure flavours.
This is how chocolate preserves taste.
This is how cacao protects quality and origin.

What does regenerative chocolate actually mean? 🌱🍫

For us, it means restoring forests, protecting rare cacao, supporting farming communities, and creating exceptional flavour from healthy ecosystems. Chocolate that gives back more than it takes.

This long-term work is now independently recognised through the 2026 Good Egg Award by the Chocolate Scorecard and reflected in our latest Foodprint results across climate, biodiversity, and community impact.

For our partners, that means every bag of couverture and every bar contributes to a more regenerative chocolate industry.

Together, 100% regenerative 💚

The second pillar of our Chocolate Foodprint is where impact becomes human.

4,001 farmers trained, of which 1,011 are women
3x – 6.4x above the living income paid to farmers
105.2 tons of beans processed directly in origin

Together with our partners, we go beyond fair prices. We invest in people and the communities behind them. Through long-term partnerships, we build trusting relationships and support skills, knowledge, and leadership to empower cacao growers.

4,001 farmers have been trained in regenerative agroforestry, entrepreneurship, nutrition, and financial literacy, strengthening communities from within. Of these, 1,011 are women.

By paying 3x to 6.4x above living income levels, we help ensure that our growers can invest not only in their current lives but also in their own and their children’s futures.

With 105.2 tons of beans processed directly in origin, we strengthen local infrastructure, support economic resilience, and ensure that the rewards of our growers’ labour stay where they belong.

This is how chocolate strengthens communities.
This is how cacao becomes social impact.

Chocolate Foodprint 2025 | Nature & Climate Focus 🌱

The first pillar of our Chocolate Foodprint is where everything begins: nature and climate.

2.013 million trees grown
4,488 hectares of agroforestry
20,157 tons of CO2 drawn down

Together with our cacao growers, we are not just planting and protecting trees; we are growing living forest systems. Last year, 2.013 million trees were grown, nurtured by the very people who know them best.

Across 4,488 hectares of agroforestry, cacao grows the way it should, inside diverse, resilient ecosystems alongside native shade trees and forest crops. These are not plantations, but living landscapes that protect biodiversity, restore soils, and build climate resilience.

20,157 tons of CO2 were drawn down through these agroforestry and rainforest systems, where carbon is not a problem, but part of the solution when kept in balance.

This is how chocolate helps regenerate forests and communities.
This is how cacao becomes climate action.
