Going beyond the traditional mechanisms of fair trade, the initiative seeks to push the boundaries even further. Its ambition is not only to guarantee fairer prices, but to rethink the entire ecosystem of chocolate by bringing together, for the very first time, every link in the chain from cocoa producers and fermenters to importers, chocolatiers, retailers, and consumers.

This collaborative and fully transparent model creates a continuous dialogue between all actors involved in the life of a chocolate bar. Producers share their realities and challenges, chocolatiers express their needs and commitments, and consumers become informed participants in a sustainable and ethical supply chain.

By uniting the sector from bean to bar, Les Chocolatiers Engagés builds a cocoa industry where responsibilities are shared, decisions are made collectively, and improvements benefit everyone. Its mission is clear: to drive long-lasting, structural change in the practices of the cocoa world ensuring fair incomes, preserving biodiversity, and strengthening the social and economic resilience of farming communities.
