SUSTAINABILITY
MAKE YOUR MARK
For chefs and artisans, it matters more than ever to know the stories
behind the ingredients they work with, their origin, and how they’ve
been grown. All to understand true and sustainable quality.
WITH EVERY CALLET™,YOU EMPOWER COCOA FARMERS
At Callebaut, we source 100% sustainable cocoa for our Finest Belgian Chocolate. With every pack you purchase, a portion goes towards funding the implementation of the Cocoa Horizons Foundation productivity and community development activities.
Since 2020, the cocoa liquor for our Finest Belgian Chocolates, such as 811 and 823, is made from traceable cocoa beans. The lots of beans can be traced back to the farming communities in Ghana, Ivory Coast and Ecuador which we buy directly from. With this traceability guarantee, we want to be transparent about the communities who grow our beans.
Through Cocoa Horizons, Callebaut supports cocoa farmers with educational, environmental, community, and work assistance programs that empower farmers to increase production while becoming stewards of the land. Community programs offer training, income diversification, and savings accounts to support farm families and help grow and strengthen their communities.
Cocoa Horizons is an impact-led program with the mission to improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities by promoting sustainable, entrepreneurial farming, improved productivity, and community development that protects nature and children.
Cocoa Horizons is:
- A non-profit organization
- Third-party verified
- Highly transparent on premium and methodology
- Addressing cocoa challenges and beyond
- Focusing on impact
- Established and supported by Barry Callebaut
- Supporting customers with communication tools
