Belgian Chocolatier Vandenbulcke signs Beyond Chocolate Charter

 

"Chocolate is a delicious product, but we feel it is our moral duty to produce chocolate in a responsible and sustainable way," Chocolatier Vandenbulcke CEO Jelle Vandenbulcke says. "Cocoa farmers must get a fair price for their produce, we need to stop deforestation, and our production processes should waste as few raw materials as possible. The Beyond Chocolate Charter is committed to all three of these issues, which are also very close to our hearts. Signing this charter therefore strengthens our sustainable ambitions further."

Charles Snoeck, Senior Program Manager Beyond Chocolate : "To address the complex challenges cocoa presents and to create a positive market transformation towards sustainability, the entire chocolate sector needs to work together. We are happy to welcome Vandenbulcke as an ambitious new signatory to the Beyond Chocolate Charter. As a traditionally Belgian brand with an innovative sustainability mindset, we are convinced Vandenbulcke will make a valuable contribution to our mission to ensure Belgian chocolate benefits cocoa farmers and their environment."
