Pono Cocoa is more than just a certification body; we are a movement dedicated to transforming the cocoa industry into a force for good. Based in the heart of Hawaii, our nonprofit organization is driven by the mission to eradicate child labor and ensure all chocolate production is ethically sourced and produced. We certify cocoa farms and chocolate makers who adhere to our rigorous standards, guaranteeing their products are made without child labor or unethical practices. Through the Pono Cocoa Seal, we empower consumers to make informed choices that support ethical practices, while also supporting cocoa farmers to improve their livelihoods through sustainable and fair farming methods. Each certified product not only meets high ethical standards but also supports our broader goal of promoting social justice and environmental sustainability in the global cocoa industry. Our story is one of passion, commitment, and hope. We believe that together, we can make a difference, ensuring that the pleasure of chocolate continues to be enjoyed without compromise or exploitation. Join us in making chocolate a force for positive change.
