ORGANIC – The chocolate used in the Cocoa Loco range is certified organic by the Soil Association - Britain’s largest and most recognisable trademark for organic produce and probably the highest and most comprehensive organic standard in the world.
BRITISH – The chocolate is produced in Cocoa Loco’s own kitchens in West Sussex. As a company they are committed to minimising their impact on the environment. Among other things they buy their electricity from Ecotricity and minimise any landfill waste.
SUSTAINABLE - Cocoa Loco use cocoa from a co-operative in the Dominican Republic and only work with like minded organisations who are committed to the growing and processing of cocoa with a sustainable environmental and social footprint.
FAIRTRADE - Cocoa Loco shares our belief that everyone should be treated fairly from bean to mouth and as a small business their certification with the Fairtrade Foundation helps to offer critical protection for workers and directly addresses the underlying problem of low cocoa prices and poverty amongst cocoa farmers.
The farmers and members of the Conacado co-operative abide by the key covenants of the International Labour Organization, including those forbidding inappropriate child labour and forced labour. The Fairtrade Foundations system of traceability, which is not prevalent in the wider cocoa industry, supports the policing and enforcement of these standards.
