They source sustainably grown cacao to eradicate child forced labor and lift cacao farmers out of poverty. Additionally, their palm-oil free chocolate contributes to environmental protection, as well as supporting Indigenous Communities and endangered species. The brand also empowers First Nations Communities by building a First Nations led supply chain and sourcing botanical ingredients from First Nation producers. They partner with the Cocoa Horizons program to drive cocoa farmer prosperity, with traceable cacao beans and impactful results such as prospering farmers above the poverty line, reducing carbon emissions through sustainable farming practices and empowering Communities through child labor monitoring and remediation initiatives. In 2024, they also supported women cacao farmers with a digital payment system for faster and safer premium payments.
Chocolate On Purpose promotes sustainability and equity in Australian native botanical and world cacao farming communities by increasing purchases from Indigenous farmers, choosing ethically sourced cacao to prevent deforestation and avoiding palm oil to protect rainforests and wildlife.

This ruby coloured chocolate is utterly unique and I love that it’s made with native ingredients it’s colour comes naturally not just from the native raspberry but the cacao beans themselves. I love that this is chocolate with purpose – a genuine commitment to social responsibility and made using Australian bush foods such as native raspberry and sustainably grown cacao beans. It’s the kind of brand and mission I fully want to get behind!
