Resources and Tools
Make Your Impact
The Craft Cacao Standard
Open sourcing
We joke that you can always make bad chocolate from good beans, but not the other way around. Bad cacao always reveals itself as unpalatable in too many ways: from flavour defects, to social injustice to environmental degradation. To assure tasty beans that go down well in every respect, we offer here for open sourcing, the world's only Craft Cacao Standard.
12 Steps to end the Climate Crisis
Regeneration Catalogue
To show you why we believe that it is possible to regenerate what you consume, we have produced a “Regeneration Catalogue” in collaboration with environmental activist Paul Hawken. Each solution here below introduces an Original Beans chocolate and in turn proves Paul’s key point: Everyone can do it!
Chocolate Foodprint 2022
Inspiring Impact
The Chocolate Foodprint is your dashboard on the impact we make together. The data is collected in the fields and villages by our local Bean Team.
