Sustainability Through Five Generations
At Guittard, we’re driven not only by what we make and how we make it, but also by the people we work with and the relationships we cultivate with farmers, suppliers, and customers.
Cultivate Better was inspired by this ethos and embodies our continual journey toward sustainability and responsible business practices. Cultivate Better inspires our industry-leading initiatives that strive to not only cultivate and preserve premium flavors responsibly but also protect and support the people, communities, and natural resources and environments that allow them to flourish for generations to come.
Our initiatives are interconnected, one part cannot flourish without the other, creating an integrated ecosystem designed for the long-lasting sustainability of the global cocoa and chocolate community.

-
Protecting Flavour
As farmers and industry strive for higher yields and disease resistance, we play a critical role in training and empowering cocoa breeders in producing countries to recognise and protect their historic flavour profiles.
-
Supporting People & Communities
As a family-owned company, we work closely with the communities and families from whom we purchase our beans to identify opportunities to support and sustain the health and vibrancy of the overarching cocoa community.
-
Honourable Sourcing
Partnering with stakeholders within our supply chain is key to sourcing sustainable ingredients, obtaining impactful certifications, and developing our Cultivate BetterTM Cocoa programme.
-
Preserving The Environment
Reducing our environmental footprint at home while supporting farmers abroad are cornerstones to Cultivate Better. Providing cocoa farmers with resilience to climate change is essential to the long-term sustainability of the cocoa sector.
