THE STORY behind the CHOCOLATE YOU LOVE

The farmers
MAKE OUR
COCOA
so special

DARRELL LEA knew this had to change In 2018, we made the decision to source 100% sustainable cocoa. To do so, we turned to Cocoa Horizons, whose award-winning cocoa sustainability programme creates real change. Since then, we have not looked back!
SUSTAINABLE AND ETHICAL Darrell Lea now pays a premium for 100% sustainably sourced cocoa, and we have adopted a recognised ethically sourced quality seal on all of our chocolate packaging to match our commitment.
YOUR CHOICES Can Change
THE WORLD
GIVING MORE OF MORE When you choose Darrell Lea, you’re getting a better-quality chocolate, and the people who make it are gaining a brighter future. That’s because we also made the choice to buy more sustainably sourced cocoa to load into our chocolate treats. It’s a win-win-win for everyone!
THE POWER OF KNOWLEDGE Our partnership with Cocoa Horizons funds training for farmers to increase their productivity and, in turn, be able to provide more opportunities to their communities and families.
THE POWER OF knowledge
HELPING FARMERS THRIVE The economic benefits of sustainable cocoa flow through entire communities. Productive farms mean households can save and plan for the future, women can pursue other work opportunities and children can enjoy an education.
HELPING farmers
THRIVE
AN IMPROVING ENVIRONMENT Sustainably sourced cocoa gives cocoa farming communities the skill to better manage land so it can remain profitable and be part of a carbon-positive future.
A DELICIOUS TOMORROW Darrell Lea is leading the charge towards 100% sustainably sourced cocoa for the entire industry. Join us as we take the next big step towards chocolate that’s a force for good in the world. TOGETHER WE CAN MAKE IT BETTER!
