Sustainability
At Daniel Chocolates, we take sustainability seriously.
We attempt to source the most sustainable products available on the market and work with suppliers who follow the same goals.
Our Commitment to Sustainable Packaging
We try our best to source packaging from eco-friendly sources.
All our signature boxes are printed in the Vancouver vicinity on cardboard sheets certified by F.S.C (Forestry Stewardship Council).
The chocolate trays used in our boxes are recyclable and manufactured in Greater Vancouver.
Our Kraft boxes are compostable, crafted and printed in Canada with card boards made in the U.S from 100% post-consumer fiber, and vegetable ink. They are glued by hand with vegetable glue. Content is packed in NatureFlex™ bags based on cellulose. This cellulose is derived from renewable wood pulp that is sustainably harvested from FSC managed forests.
Our logo carrier bags are 100% biodegradable “Oxo-Biodegradation Technology” and are also made in Canada.
Besides using biodegradable chips in shipping, we do our best to reuse packaging materials whenever they are compatible with food safety concerns.
We are proud to support One Tree Planted to have one tree planted every day, joining the effort of fighting deforestation in British Columbia.
Our Commitment to Localized Economy
We rely on local suppliers that share the same values as ours.
All our corporate packaging suppliers (boxes, trays, etc.) are all located in Canada. The 36% heavy cream that we use intensively to create fillings of our chocolates is supplied by Meadow Fresh located in Port Coquitlam and is made only with B.C. Milk.
Our Commitment to Social Responsibility
Social responsibility is a key factor for our sustainability.
Daniel Chocolates actively supports organizations that are in the scope of B.C. General Health and Children Protection, Education B.C. Cancer Agency, Children’s Hospital, Children’s Heart Network and many more. We also support charities, sports organizations, local art scenes, and schools in Greater Vancouver. Chek out our community engagement page to learn more.
We are also proud that most of our factory employees have been with our company for more than 20 years and a few of them for more than 28 years. The stability and job security of our employees are not only an assurance of the constant quality of our products but a definitive factor of our social responsibility.
