Environmental concerns drove our passion for starting Xocolatl Chocolate. We recognized ethically and sustainably shade-grown cacao was preferable to practices like pineapple or cattle ranching in the rainforest. In 2021, we conducted a Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) with the help of one of our former chocolate makers who was pursuing environmental studies at Georgia Tech. Armed with insights from the LCA, we have been dedicated to decreasing and offsetting our footprint through various measures. These include purchasing carbon credits and carbon capture, utilizing renewable energy credits, and implementing composting. We’re committed to continuing to build a chocolate company that makes as small an impact on the environment as possible.
