We source our ingredients from ethical and environmentally conscious suppliers, and we choose natural, unprocessed and organic ingredients that are kinder to the environment.
Organic ingredients are grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, and genetically modified organisms (GMOs). These practices not only protect the environment but also promote soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation.
-
Soil health: Organic farming practices prioritize soil health by using natural methods of fertilization and pest control. This helps maintain soil fertility and reduces the need for synthetic inputs.
-
Biodiversity: Organic farming promotes biodiversity by encouraging a variety of plants and animals to coexist. This leads to a more resilient ecosystem and helps preserve wildlife habitats.
-
Water conservation: Organic farming uses less water than conventional farming methods because it focuses on building healthy soil that can retain moisture. This reduces the need for irrigation and helps conserve water resources.
-
No GMOs: Genetically modified organisms are not allowed under organic standards. This helps preserve the natural diversity of plants and animals and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.
By choosing organic ingredients, we are supporting sustainable farming practices that prioritise the health of the planet and its inhabitants.
Sustainability
We are committed to sustainability in all aspects of our business. From the ingredients we use, through the way we produce our chocolate, to the packaging materials and methods that are eco -friendly and have a minimal negative impact on the environment.
We do not use palm oil in our chocolate because of the negative environmental and social impacts associated with its production.
The palm oil industry has been linked to deforestation, habitat destruction, and exploitation of workers. These practices not only harm wildlife and the environment but also contribute to climate change.
As a vegan-founded business, We believe that using palm oil, even in small amounts, would go against our values and the principles we stand for.
the factory is powered by 100% green energy and we use sustainable materials during the production to reduce waste to the minimum.
We hand pack the chocolate using plastic-free, 100% recycled and/or compostable packaging. Discover more here - Sustainable Packaging.
We try to reduce transportation emissions by using an electric vehicle to do those necessary business rounds and also by choosing Royal Mail, which company is one of the greenest option for delivering your chocolate.
You can read about how they try to achieve this - here.
By choosing vegan ingredients and by being a 100% vegan company we can have a significant positive impact on the planet and its resources.
Here are some reasons why choosing vegan is better for our beautiful planet:
-
Reduced greenhouse gas emissions: Animal agriculture is a major contributor to greenhouse gas emissions, including methane and carbon dioxide. Plant-based diets have a lower carbon footprint and can help mitigate climate change.
-
Land and water conservation: Growing plants for food requires less land and water than raising animals for food. By choosing vegan options, you can help conserve these precious resources.
-
Biodiversity preservation: The expansion of animal agriculture is a major driver of habitat destruction and loss of biodiversity. Eating a vegan diet can help protect wildlife and natural habitats.
-
Water pollution reduction: Animal waste from factory farms often pollutes nearby waterways, leading to water quality issues and harm to aquatic life. By choosing vegan options, you can help reduce water pollution.
-
Soil health: Animal agriculture can lead to soil degradation and erosion due to overgrazing and the use of synthetic fertilizers. Plant-based farming practices, such as organic agriculture, can improve soil health and fertility.
Sustainability is a core value of this business and we are actively working towards a more sustainable future.
We believe that we have a moral obligation to protect the environment and leave the planet in a better state than we found it.
Our aim is that in the near future Choco Doodle Doo will become a Zero Waste business and our carbon emissions will be reduced to Zero (whether directly or indirectly produced).
We know that the earth is our home, and we want to ensure that the future generations can enjoy it just as much as we do.
That's why sustainability and environmental protection are at the heart of everything we do!
