Good for the Planet.

Can chocolates help save the earth? You may be surprised by the link between our products and the health of the planet. While large parts of South America and Western Africa have been plagued by deforestation in recent decades, the cultivation of cacao trees has begun to reverse the trend. The loss of entire forests and the burning of trees to clear land have contributed substantially to the problem of global warming.

In these regions, farmers have been encouraged to make a living from supplying cocoa to the world’s chocolate makers. Instead of chopping down trees, they are growing more. SIBU SURA is committed to supporting environmentally-sustainable practices by using only the finest, planet-friendly ingredients in our chocolates.
