Chocolat-e 2024 Comprehensive Certification Score: 94%. From Benefit Corporations for Good.

AND RECERTIFIED IN 2024.

With a score of 94%. Still some improvements to be made of course, and we need to keep up with what we’ve already accomplished – staying creative and adaptable. We are always facing new challenges — from supply chain issues to packaging sourcing, and that’s what makes our mission interesting and exciting. Chocolat-e is a constant work in progress.

Thank you to the BCFG community for standing by us. We’re growing and having a stronger presence on the business landscape.

OUR MANIFESTO

What is the point of creating yet another chocolate brand?…

We built our foundational pillars on our values while asking this question.

… If not ethical?
NO to labor exploitation. YES to ethical sourcing.
Because we know that everything comes with a price and our respect for our fellow human beings comes way before profit.

.. If not sustainable?
NO to deforestation. NO to excessive waste.
YES to recyclable and recycled packaging.
Because we believe we can contribute to a healthier planet.

… If not socially responsible?
NO to discrimination. YES to diversity and inclusion. Because we believe in supporting our communities.

… If not focused on the best taste?
WIth our firm foundations in place, we can begin to focus on taste.
NO to beans grown solely for high yield. YES to high quality beans and the best processes used to enhance their unique origins and tastes.

… If not dedicated to give you the best experience?
NO to mindless munching.  YES to an elevated, multi-sensual experience.
Because at the end of the day, we make this chocolate for you to savor and enjoy.
