the challenges we intend to overcome

Chocolate

Chocolate production presents various critical issues, including deforestation, child exploitation, and the impact on global CO₂ emissions.

The solution we are working on:

Testing new recipes to substitute cocoa with alternative ingredients, without compromising the quality and flavor of our products.

Profit distribution

The traditional approach to profit distribution can favor unjustified wage gaps and discourage investment in initiatives with a high social and environmental impact.

The solution we are working on:

Incorporating a clause into our charter that ensures our commitment to the planet and a fair and proportional distribution of profits among shareholders, executives, and employees.

Governance

Corporate governance decisions rarely involve all stakeholders, which can lead to initiatives that are not aligned with the real needs of the planet and local communities.

The solution we are working on:

Develop a digital participation platform to actively involve our stakeholders in the different strategic decision-making processes.
