Mission
We make artisan chocolate that connects people, with the most positive impact possible on people, animals and the planet.
Connecting through chocolate
For us, chocolate is the ultimate connector. It starts within our own team, where a highly diverse group of people works together on one mission. We carry that diversity through to our products: with our inclusive collections we celebrate holidays from all cultures, so everyone feels recognised and welcome. We also organise initiatives where our chocolate is the starting point for real encounters.
Our drive for connection goes hand in hand with sustainability. In recent years we have taken big steps, from sustainable packaging to solar panels and electric transport by van and bike. That is why we are proud to be a certified B Corp.

Sustainable ingredients
For our chocolate, we source certified cocoa beans from the Dominican Republic. By buying our beans from the Grupo Conacado Cooperative, we contribute directly to improving the living conditions of cocoa farmers. They grow the beans sustainably and earn a fair price. This benefits not only the farmers themselves, but their whole community.
Social impact
By using chocolate as the ultimate connector, we make a conscious social impact. We believe everyone deserves an equal chance, and we use our chocolate to open those doors. We do this by working with partners who support people with a distance to the labour market, by offering interns a place to learn and grow, and through our partnership with JINC, helping young people find their way into work.
Our mission to connect people doesn't stop at the workplace. We regularly organise events where our chocolate brings people together, such as our annual Iftar, where we bring different cultures together around the table. We also build bridges further from home: we support the surf team of Surfkids Shredding Senegal in Dakar, giving young people the chance to pursue their passion and develop new skills.

Sustainable packaging
Packaging makes up a large part of the world's waste. We minimise the environmental impact of our packaging by using as little plastic as possible. In addition, all cardboard and paper that does not come into direct contact with chocolate is made from recycled material. And our packaging is made from a single type of material, which makes it easy to recycle after use.
Renewable energy
On a sunny day, our production process runs entirely on renewable energy. The 73 solar panels on the roof of our production site in Schiedam generate up to 29,000 watts.
