Workers involved in business that operate along fairtrade lines benefit from increased wages, healthy and supportive workplace conditions and practices (equal employment opportunities) and often receive support for their families.
Organic chocolate is made from ingredients including cocoa, milk and sugar that are grown using certified organic farming practices. Organic chocolate has no residue artificial pesticides or fertilizers used in the growing, harvesting and processing and so is a healthier option.
