LOVE COCOA'S PLANT A TREE PROJECT

We are planting more every day

TO DATE WE HAVE PLANTED 1,005,057 TREES TO FIGHT AGAINST CLIMATE CHANGE

The world’s chocolate industry is driving deforestation on a particularly devastating scale in West Africa.

Forests are being destroyed for the cultivation of cocoa by big industrial players, demolishing the homes of Africa's diverse wildlife and driving countless species into extinction.

Change isn't just an option, it's a necessity.

What WE are doing

In partnership with Eden Reforestation Projects, we plant one tree for every product we sell. Eden Reforestation Projects is a nonprofit NGO that works alongside local communities in developing countries to restore natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation, thereby creating jobs, protecting ecosystems and helping combat climate change. We've already planted one million trees so far and we have no intention of slowing down.

WHY WE ARE DOING IT

In addition to the ecological benefits, planting more trees also benefits the local communities and cocoa farmers. By helping us plant trees, you’re giving families the ability to transition away from unsustainable farming techniques towards more stable and sustainable practices.

WHY IT MATTERS

Deforestation in Africa is happening 4X FASTER than the global rate, resulting in an average loss of approximately 40,000 square kilometres per year.

Approximately 28,000 plant and animal species are expected to become extinct in the next 25 years due to deforestation.

Cocoa farming has driven deforestation in every country in which it is produced, particularly in West Africa, with rainforests being cut down to make way for mass cocoa production.
