Truth, Integrity, Morality & Ethics
You have to have an ethics policy, even if your ethical credentials are somewhat suspect. We hope that we’re different. We’ve made it our business only to work with those people and organisations whose values accord with our own.
Ultimately, all of our suppliers are small businesses like our own, from the lovely people who keep our website running, though the suppliers who source and manufacture our boxes, to the growers and the small co-operatives in South America, who harvest and prepare the cacao.
We don’t cut corners, we don’t skimp, we certainly don’t waste, and we always reduce, re-use and recycle.
We’re not trying to change the world with the way that we work, we just don’t know any other way, and we sleep easier at night doing the right thing.
We do use organic produce when we can (our cream and butter are always organic) we do support Fairtrade organisations where we know that it benefits smaller producers, but we always assess all that we do on the basis of fairness, provenance and quality.
We will pay a higher price to work with people who share our expectations for better chocolate, and a better world. Because they’re worth it . . .
