fairafric x WeltPartner
Two partners, one shared vision: rethinking fair trade and driving lasting change in the chocolate industry. Through our partnership, we champion fair value creation in the country of origin, environmental responsibility, and chocolate that not only tastes good but also does good.
Together for a fairer chocolate industry.
The problem
The Global South produces raw materials that are refined into finished products only in industrialized countries. This allows wealthy corporations in the Global North to grow ever richer. Unfortunately, neither Fairtrade nor supply chain laws have changed this so far.
Our Solution
A fair value chain. The Fairchain movement is committed to keeping the entire production process of goods in the raw material’s country of origin. This is where we, together with WeltPartner, come in – by producing the finest organic chocolate, from tree to bar in Ghana.
A model of fairness
Our cooperation with WeltPartner shows how effective trade can be.
By producing our organic chocolate entirely in Ghana, we increase local value creation, create fair jobs, and promote economic independence. Together, we support the vision "Use business to end poverty" (more about our mission) and set an example for social innovation.
