Cocoa Conscious started with a simple idea: chocolate can be better.

Inspired by a love of all things chocolate and an ambition to make a positive change, we set out to create delicious chocolate with sustainability at its heart.

From unique chocolate bars, indulgent truffles and filled chocolates to everyday baking staples, everything we create is made with carefully selected ingredients and a conscious approach to sourcing and packaging.

Because we believe feeling good about chocolate should be part of enjoying it.

Our Mission

We’re a small UK business with a big ambition: to help make truly sustainable chocolate the norm, not the exception.

That means thinking carefully about the choices we make, from the ingredients in our chocolate to the people involved in producing them and the packaging they arrive in.

By choosing fairly traded ingredients, reducing unnecessary packaging and continually looking for ways to make our business greener, we hope to play our small part in creating greater demand for a fairer, more sustainable chocolate industry.

We carefully select the chocolate and ingredients we use according to standards that matter to us. Our chocolate is organic, made with fairly traded cocoa, gluten-free, and free from palm oil and soya.

And because what surrounds the chocolate matters too, we choose recyclable packaging.

 

Fairly traded cocoa

The journey for chocolate begins long before it reaches our kitchen.

Cocoa is grown and harvested by people and communities around the world, which is why the way it is sourced matters enormously to us.

We choose fairly traded cocoa because we believe the people behind our chocolate should be treated fairly. Supporting more responsible sourcing also helps demonstrate demand for a chocolate industry in which fairer working conditions and livelihoods aren't optional extras.

 

Naturally better

We want chocolate to be something you can genuinely feel good about.

That's why we focus on thoughtfully selected, high-quality ingredients and no unnecessary additives. Organic ingredients are all we use, helping us support farming practices that can be kinder to the wider environment.

 

No palm oil. No soya.

You'll find palm oil and soya in countless foods, including many chocolate products. You won't find them in ours.

We're committed to making our chocolates without palm oil or soya, choosing cocoa butter instead where needed in our chocolate-making process.

 

Our Greener Business Pledge

Sustainability isn't something we want to stick on a label and forget about. It's something we're continually working on.

We're a small business, so we know we can't change the chocolate industry overnight. But lots of thoughtful decisions can add up to meaningful change.

A smaller footprint

From the ingredients we source to how our products reach you, we're always looking for practical ways to reduce the environmental impact of Cocoa Conscious.

As we grow, our aim is to grow responsibly; finding better processes, reducing waste and making more sustainable choices wherever we realistically can.

Recyclable packaging

Beautiful chocolate deserves beautiful packaging, but it shouldn't have to come at the planet's expense.

That's why recyclability is an important part of the way we choose our packaging. We continually look for ways to reduce unnecessary materials, while still making sure your chocolate arrives looking and tasting its best.

Keeping things local

Being a UK small business means our local community matters to us.

Where possible, we want to work locally, sell locally and build relationships with other independent businesses. Shorter, more thoughtful supply chains can help us reduce unnecessary journeys while supporting the communities around us.

 

Our Vision

We want to see a world where choosing sustainable chocolate isn't difficult.

Our vision is to grow Cocoa Conscious without losing sight of why we started: exceptional chocolate, thoughtfully sourced ingredients, fairer practices and a genuine commitment to reducing our environmental impact.

We're not pretending one small chocolate business can solve every problem in the cocoa industry.

But every ingredient sourced more responsibly, every piece of unnecessary packaging avoided and every person who chooses more consciously creates demand for something better.

 

Small business. Big chocolate ambitions.

Cocoa Conscious is still growing, learning and experimenting.

We'll keep asking questions about where our ingredients come from, looking for better ways to package our products and, most importantly, making chocolate we're genuinely excited for you to eat.

Better ingredients. Fairer choices. Less waste. More delicious chocolate.

That's Cocoa Conscious.
