Sustainability
Our Responsibility to a Greener Planet
At GODIVA, we believe indulgence should never come at the expense of the earth. From responsibly sourced ingredients to more sustainable packaging and practices, we are dedicated to reducing our impact and protecting the beauty of the planet we all share.
Our Vision
"At GODIVA, we are committed to building a sustainable and thriving cocoa industry — one where farmers prosper, communities are empowered, human rights are protected, and the environment is safeguarded for future generations.
We pursue this vision through a deep understanding of our supply chain and a transformational approach that spans every step — from the farm to the moment of indulgence in your hands "

Soubré, Côte d'Ivoire
For half a decade, we've been proud to support an Earthworm project on farmer resilience in the Soubré region of Côte d'Ivoire. This project — managed through pladis — has seen efforts to map the landscape, improve income for women through village-run banks, and pilots encouraging the adoption of agroforestry.
Earthworm Foundation
We first announced our partnership with Earthworm Foundation in July 2020, a nonprofit partner helping chocolate manufacturers and traders build more sustainable value chains, as well as creating on-the-round programs for farming communities.
