Ecological approach
Nature provides us something precious, and we thank it with respect. That is why all VIVANI products are certified organic. Some raw materials comply with Demeter, Fairtrade, and other BSCI sustainability standards.
"Keep your love of nature, for that is the true way to understand art more and more."
Vincent van Gogh

Our approach
Sustainable Cocoa
from protected origins
We place great importance on using certified organic cocoa and packaging materials that meet recognised organic, FSC or equivalent certification standards.
As cocoa is the main raw material in our products, its origin and quality are, of course, particularly important to us. We therefore ensure that it comes exclusively from so-called ‘fine cocoa’ origins and meets at least the EU organic standard. For some products, we also use high-quality biodynamic Demeter cocoa.
A question we are often asked is, “How can you ensure that all the people in your supply chain are treated fairly?” Our answer to this question is, “we can’t” and that’s just how honest we have to be. There is simply no easy solution to this problem, but rather a complex network of various approaches and programs set in place with continual goals to end these injustices. Not everything that we consider to be useful, does the farmer initially agree with.Here it is important that we understand one another, in order to be able to reconcile cultural differences, differing mentalities, expectations, and understanding of quality. This is the real challenge of our work, a true Herculean task.
Therefore we are constantly seeking a dialogue with our suppliers. It is only through this method that we can negotiate our needs to a mutual understanding.
There is still a great deal to do and much room for improvement. Our own ‘Sustainable Organic Cocoa Project’ and our Demeter project work in the Dominican Republic are making initial progress.
