Cocoa Act 4,

our exclusive sustainability program.

Everyone has a role to play in the future of the Planet and Dolfin has decided to position itself as a key player by investing in a new ethical sustainability programme – Cocoa Act 4. Indeed, since September 2021, our company has been doing its utmost to set up a cocoa bean supply that meets these values.

Why “Cocoa Act 4”? Because there are four pillars to this program, which is intended to be both clear and effective.

Our Mission

1. People

Improving the standard of living of our cocoa bean producers (= the PARC Community, located in Ivory Coast):

They receive a « Quality Bonus » when they sell their cocoa beans to the Dolfin fermentation center.
A « Chocolate Bonus » is also given to them (0,10€/kg of purchased chocolate). Thanks to that, each year, the collected amount will allow projects to be carried out within the Community (schools, clinics, maternity hospitals, access to water, …).

2. Planet

Through its project, Dolfin ensures that good agricultural practices are established for the production of its cocoa beans. Dolfin also aims to plant shade trees, which will make it possible to reforest the surrounding areas of crops. What’s more, we are reducing plastic use by 80% with the new FSC cardboard packagings of our chocolate bars! In addition, the transparent boxes that contain some of our chocolates are now made of recycled PET and 100% recyclable!

3. Quality

The fresh cocoa beans sold by the farmers are rigorously selected. They are then fermented in the Dolfin fermentation center, located in Ivory Coast, which guarantees a better control of the flavours in our chocolate. The expertise of all stakeholders throughout the production chain, as well as highly controlled fermentation, results in a more developed aromatic profile. At Dolfin, we only use top quality ingredients of natural origin. This is how Dolfin offers you exceptional chocolate!

4. Transparency

Plus d’informations pour plus de clarté ! La traçabilité, on ne cessera de vous le répéter, est le maître mot ! À travers le projet Cocoa Act 4, notre objectif est de mettre en place un traçage de nos fèves à 100%, des champs jusqu’à la tablette! Nos engagements sont clairs, concrets et mesurables et feront l’objet d’un rapport annuel. Ils pourront être consultés facilement et à tout moment sur notre site web et grâce à notre QR code.
