Our Climate Pledge
Cacao farming is intimately tied to climate stability. Rising temperatures, shifting rainfall patterns, and extreme weather threaten the very ecosystems that produce fine-flavor chocolate. At Terroir Cocoa, we recognize that protecting our crop means protecting the planet.
In 2021, we committed to achieving full carbon neutrality across Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 2024, and verified net-zero across our entire value chain by 2030. This isn't marketing—it's operational necessity, guided by third-party auditors and grounded in agricultural science.
"We don't just offset what we emit. We redesign how we grow, process, and deliver chocolate to leave a regenerative footprint on the land and atmosphere."
Four Pillars of Neutrality
Renewable Energy
100% of our farm and processing facility runs on solar arrays and micro-hydro systems. We've eliminated grid dependency and reduced operational emissions by 78% since 2019.
Soil & Carbon Sequestration
Through agroforestry, cover cropping, and composted cacao husks, our soil captures 1.2 tons of CO₂ per hectare annually. We're building living carbon sinks, not just preventing loss.
Low-Carbon Logistics
Electric cold-chain transport for regional distribution, optimized routing AI, and carbon-neutral sea freight partnerships. We track every mile and mitigate every ton.
Supply Chain Transparency
Blockchain-tracked beans, farmer carbon literacy programs, and shared reduction targets with packaging partners. Neutrality stops where responsibility begins.
2024 Emissions Dashboard
Audited by Climate Impact Lab & independently verified against GHG Protocol standards.
Roadmap to Net Zero
Baseline Assessment
Full GHG inventory completed. Scope 1, 2, and 3 emissions mapped using ISO 14064 standards.
Scope 1 & 2 Neutral
Farm and factory operations achieved verified carbon neutrality through renewable transition and efficiency gains.
Scope 3 Integration
Supplier carbon contracts, electric fleet rollout, and regenerative packaging standards implemented across value chain.
Verified Net Zero
Full lifecycle neutrality certified. Annual carbon-negative threshold targeted through expanded agroforestry.
Verified & Certified
Our commitments are backed by rigorous third-party standards and transparent annual reporting.
