Love Cocoa's Plant a Tree Project | Sustainable UK Chocolate

How we did it

As part of our earlier sustainability commitments, Love Cocoa partnered with Eden Reforestation Projects and became a member of 1% for the Planet to help combat deforestation through global tree-planting initiatives.

Eden Reforestation Projects, a nonprofit NGO, works alongside local communities in developing countries to restore natural landscapes destroyed by deforestation, creating jobs, protecting ecosystems, and supporting climate resilience.

Through this partnership, Love Cocoa funded the planting of more than one million trees worldwide, making a meaningful contribution to reforestation and community livelihoods.

While this programme has now concluded, it remains an important part of our story and a foundation for our ongoing focus on creating positive, people-centred impact across the chocolate industry.

WHY IT MATTERS

Beyond the ecological impact, our tree-planting initiatives also supported local communities and cocoa farmers. By funding reforestation projects, we helped families move away from unsustainable farming techniques and towards more stable, long-term livelihoods.

In line with the 1% for the Planet ethos, our goal was to protect the resources from which we profited and to give back to the communities and environments that make chocolate possible.

Although this programme has now concluded, its spirit continues to shape our work, inspiring our ongoing commitment to create positive, people-centred impact throughout the chocolate supply chain.
