Full Environmental Record

Askinosie Chocolate is careful about the impact it has on the environment. Its partner farmers are chosen carefully for their ability to uphold strict 'beyond organic' standards. The production facilities are chemical and waste-free and are moving towards being entirely fueled by renewable energy. Askinosie also minimizes water use, through a closed loop system, and reuses shipping materials in the wrapping for the product. Askinosie ensures that its cocoa is processed only minimally and that all other ingredients are responsibly sourced. The only negative is the high food miles implied as this is a specialty product.

Short company info

Askinosie Chocolate makes chocolate with cocoa beans sourced directly from farmers who receive better than fair trade prices, a profit share from the company and access to all financial documents and calculations that determine that amount. The end product is kept as simple as possible without stabilizers or emulsifiers added.
