Voyage Foods' innovation in using alternative, plant-based ingredients to mimic cocoa not only reduces the dependency on traditional cocoa supply chains but also avoids the issues of deforestation, child labor, and unfair trade practices common in conventional chocolate production. This shift promotes supply chain transparency and ethical sourcing.

The Man Who Might Save Chocolate

Voyage Foods is demonstrating strong commitment to ethical business practices through its innovative approach to creating cocoa-free alternatives, thereby avoiding the significant human rights abuses (such as child labor, deforestation, and slavery) associated with traditional cocoa farming. This sustainable supply chain practice not only benefits the environment by reducing greenhouse gas emissions and water usage, but it also signals a shift away from complicit, unethical sourcing methods that have broader implications for societal and ecological welfare.
