Our CSR commitments

THROUGH OUR CSR POLICY, WE HAVE FORMALLY SET OUT THE APPROACH THAT HAS BEEN OUR DRIVING FORCE FOR ALMOST 30 YEARS. At KAOKA, we have always advocated organic and ethical chocolate.

Because, in our opinion, these two criteria are inseparable, we have built a model of integrated programs that have proven their strength during this international health crisis. Today, the reconciliation of organic and ethical issues raises a new challenge: that of climate change and the resulting environmental transformations.
