This is... The Chocolate Impact Group

The Chocolate Impact Group demonstrates that sustainable chocolate can compete on taste, scale and impact. Formed through the merger of Chocolatemakers and Hands Off, the group brings together several leading chocolate brands under a single mission: to accelerate the transition to a fair and regenerative cocoa value chain.

Impact through scale

By making sustainable chocolate accessible to a wider audience, The Chocolate Impact Group amplifies its positive impact on farmers, biodiversity and the climate. The company combines direct partnerships with cocoa farmers, regenerative agriculture and transparent supply chains with strong consumer brands and a growing market presence. As a result, sustainable chocolate is no longer a niche product, but an attractive mainstream choice.

A fair value chain, from bean to bar

The Chocolate Impact Group works closely with cocoa farmers and cooperatives to enable living incomes, decent working conditions and the long-term restoration of agricultural land. By cultivating cocoa in biodiverse agroforestry systems, the company helps prevent deforestation, enhance biodiversity and sequester carbon, while enabling farmers to improve both productivity and income.

Sustainable production

The chocolate is produced at the company’s own factory in Amsterdam, where craftsmanship and sustainability go hand in hand. Powered by solar energy, the factory transforms high-quality cocoa into premium chocolate with full traceability and exceptional quality. Wherever possible, cocoa is transported using low-emission methods, including by the sailing cargo vessel Tres Hombres.

Why we invest

The Chocolate Impact Group demonstrates that commercial success and positive impact can reinforce one another. With a proven portfolio of brands, an integrated value chain and a clear ambition to make sustainable chocolate available at scale, the company is helping to build a future-proof food system—one in which farmers, nature and consumers all benefit.

The cocoa beans come to the Netherlands largely emission-free, by sailing ship Tres Hombres.
