We strive to improve the social and environmental conditions linked to producing cocoa in the different regions we get our supplies from. By improving the quality of the beans and the profitability of the plantations, we increase the revenues of the growers and thus contribute to providing a better quality of life for the families. We are developing specific projects to meet, at least partly, the needs of the communities in terms of education and health. We endeavour to reduce the impact of the plantations on the environment through the sustainable use of input, better protection of wildlife and the integration of plantations in the agroforestry area.

In extension to our commitment to our own plantations, our participation in different professional associations allows us to actively contribute to finding solutions to the social, economic and environmental problems in the regions that produce the cocoa, coffee and spices that we sell.
