| Social Impact |
|
| Social Impact & Special Achievements | | | Theo Chocolate has had a commitment to Fair Trade since its inception, and has made great efforts to choose producers whose social impact is high. Theo has maintained good relationships with its producers and has, in some cases, invested an extra 5% above the Fair Trade premium in technological advances for the cocoa farmers. Theo has also supported producer education about what makes good chocolate so they can invest this knowledge into making a product for which they can charge more. | ||||
