Chocolatey Clare Environmental Initiatives

My chocolate does not contain any dairy products, which have a huge carbon footprint.
My chocolate does not contain palm oil, which contributes to deforestation and loss of habitat.
Our cacao supplier re-invests in rainforest reforestation is is involved in a variety of humanitarian, charitable, and environmental projects that benefit and protect local people, local wildlife, and their habitats.
Our online orders are generally delivered in electric vehicles.
Our product packaging is 100% plastic-free, fully compostable/recyclable, and manufactured with vegan inks and vegan glue.
Our orders are shipped in recycled cardboard boxes void-filled with unbleached paper or water-soluble, compostable filler.
Any requested customer gift notes are handwritten on unbleached 100% post-consumer waste card.
We do not have printed business cards, preferring to direct people to our website via a scannable QR code.
We have installed solar panels on our building and use a green energy supplier.
Our electric vehicle is charged using surplus solar power from our roof panels.
We installed a heat pump, which is very energy efficient.
We wrap-insulated our building to maintain heat.
We recycle and compost 99% of our waste and operate a "nil to landfill" policy as far as possible.
Our company laptop is a refurbished item bought second-hand, therefore not using new materials in its production.

Chocolatey Clare is 100% vegan and proud to be an environmentally conscious and socially responsible chocolate maker
