Is Sunspire Chocolate “fair trade” certified?
Our organic cocoa is grown in Central America and parts of South America. It is purchased at premium prices and produced to standards that map very closely to globally defined fair trade practices. Many of the growers who supply us with organic cocoa are members of fair trade coalitions within their own countries. We support the principles of fair trade; however, our products do not have fair trade certification. Our conventionally grown cocoa comes from all three major cocoa growing regions: Latin America, Africa, and Southeast Asia. We work closely with our chocolate suppliers and stand by their statements that the cocoa in our products is being produced under fair labor conditions. Further, as members of the World Cocoa Foundation, we have extended our work to directly support the well-being and livelihood of cocoa growers worldwide.
