Our Commitment to Ethical and Sustainable Chocolate
At Jenkins’ Emporium, we believe that every bite of chocolate should not only delight your senses but also contribute to a better world. That’s why we are dedicated to sourcing our chocolate ethically and sustainably, ensuring that our practices support both people and the planet.
Ethical Sourcing
Our chocolate journey begins with a commitment to ethical sourcing. We partner with suppliers who adhere to the highest standards of fairness and equity in the chocolate supply chain. This means prioritizing the well-being of farmers, ensuring they receive fair compensation for their hard work, and supporting their communities. By choosing Jenkins’ Emporium, you are supporting a system that values human dignity and promotes positive social impact.
Sustainable Practices
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. Our chocolate is crafted using methods that respect the environment and aim to preserve it for future generations. From reducing our carbon footprint to minimizing waste and conserving natural resources, we take a holistic approach to sustainability. Our packaging is designed to be eco-friendly, and we continually seek new ways to lessen our environmental impact.
THE COCOA HORIZONS PROGRAMME
Our chocolate is part of Cocoa Horizons, an initiative dedicated to improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and their communities through sustainable practices. By participating in this program, we contribute to efforts that enhance productivity, support educational initiatives, and promote sustainable farming techniques.
Our Chocolate Supports Cocoa Farmers
The cocoa beans for our chocolate are sourced as much as possible directly from farmer cooperatives. By doing so, farmers receive a better price for their crops, enabling them to improve their livelihoods and invest in their farms. Your purchase helps create a more equitable and sustainable future for cocoa farming communities.
Our Chocolate Empowers Women Farmers
Part of the revenue from our chocolate is invested in training programmes for women in West Africa. These programmes empower women to turn their entrepreneurial dreams into successful businesses, making them financially independent and better able to support their families. Empowered women farmers contribute to stronger, more resilient communities.
Our Chocolate Sources Sustainable Cocoa
Sustainability is at the core of our mission. By sourcing cocoa directly from farmer cooperatives, we ensure that farmers receive fair compensation and can invest in sustainable farming practices. This approach not only benefits the farmers but also ensures that we can continue to bring you high-quality, ethically sourced chocolate.
Great for Taste, Fair for Farmers
Part of the revenue from our chocolate goes back to the farmers, invested in training programmes and tools to help them become better craftsmen. This investment results in better quality beans, superior taste, and fairer prices for their crops. Your enjoyment of our chocolate supports a cycle of improvement and fairness.
Our Chocolate Fosters Young Farmers to Become Entrepreneurs
Every bite of Jenkins’ Emporium chocolate contributes to a positive impact. The revenue from our chocolate is reinvested in farmer training and coaching, enabling farmers to improve their income and livelihoods. Enjoy our chocolate knowing it helps create a brighter future for cocoa farming communities.
Our Chocolate Improves Lives
We are committed to empowering the next generation of cocoa farmers. Our chocolate supports young people by providing access to training and tools, helping them transform start-up cocoa farms into thriving enterprises. These young farmers are the future of sustainable cocoa farming, and your purchase helps them achieve their entrepreneurial ambitions.
Our Chocolate Empowers Cocoa Farmers to Become Experts
For each chocolate you buy, a portion of the revenue is invested in farmer training and farming tools. These resources help elevate farmers into experts, improving their crop quality and yield. Better farming practices lead to superior tasting chocolate, while also allowing farmers to make a better living from their work.
Thank you for being a part of our journey towards a more ethical and sustainable future. Together, we can create a world where chocolate is enjoyed responsibly and benefits everyone involved in its creation.
