Nachhaltigkeit

Sustainability, to its logical conclusion

For fairafric, fair means being fair to people and nature.

What makes our chocolate special?

Production at origin

We process cocoa where it grows. This shortens transport routes, reduces emissions, and avoids unnecessary intermediate steps in the supply chain. Fewer detours mean less environmental impact – and more efficiency throughout the entire system.

Solar-powered production

The entire factory roof has been covered with 578 solar panels since the beginning of 2021. On average, the solar system generates about 16,500.25 kWh/month.

Dynamic Agroforestry

We are increasingly sourcing our cocoa from agroforestry systems. This strengthens the soil, promotes biodiversity, and makes farms more resilient to climate change. This way, cocoa is grown in a vibrant, regenerating ecosystem that sequesters more CO2 in the soil.

On Our Road to Climate Positive
Chocolate Creates Impact

Chocolate on the go

fairafric also makes the transport of chocolate to Europe as climate-friendly as possible. This means by ship instead of by plane, from the port city of Tema to Hamburg. The refrigerated container is kept at 16 degrees, and we offset the CO2 emissions with NatureOffice.

Mission: Zero Waste

The most sustainable form of packaging: none at all! All fairafric varieties are also available unpackaged in many unpackaged stores or in the TARABAO online shop
