Social Responsibility

It’s easy to make the case that our fine chocolate creations bring so much joy to people that we’re naturally good corporate citizens. But sustainable practices and social awareness are things we take very seriously.

It begins in the factory, where we’ve implemented sustainability initiatives across the board. It almost goes without saying that we keep water and energy use at an absolute minimum. We also recycle as much as we can, and use, wherever practical, recycled packing and certified FSC boards. In fact, we’re signatory to the National Packaging Covenant, an agreement that ensures our continued commitment to relieving landfills.

As a family-owned and –operated business, people are important to us. So focusing our social responsibility outwards as well as inwards is a priority. Because we all have family and friends that are important to us, we take pride in being long-term partners of the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Children, too, are close to our hearts, and we are very active in raising money for sick kids through Children’s Hospital Foundations Australia. And on an international level, we genuinely care for the people who provide the cocoa on which we depend, as the first Fairtrade licensed chocolate manufacturer in Australia.

From the support of special causes and the activities of our local communities, to simply doing the right thing, Chocolatier uses more than just chocolate to bring happiness to people’s lives.
