Endangered Species Chocolate

Why We Love It: Endangered Species Chocolate (ESC) chocolate bar line has received certification by Fairtrade America and is now offering the first ever chocolate bars made in America from Fairtrade certified West African cocoa beans that can be fully traced from farm to chocolate bar. ESC has committed that only fully traceable cocoa beans sustainably grown and harvested under Fairtrade standards will be used to make their chocolate. ESC’s mission and values – including using ingredients that meet strict standards for quality, ethical trade and environmental sustainability – translate to the rigorous 10% GiveBack selection process. Partners are chosen based on their aggressive and clear mission to help support species preservation and habitat conservation. Rainforest Trust and WCN have made great strides in their respective goals with a passion that struck a chord with ESC’s staff. This is why we love them!
