Introduction

Vintage Plantations Chocolates has been working with the Rainforest Alliance since its inception of the cocoa program. We were instrumental in the development of the cocoa certification guidelines, hence Vintage Plantations was the first chocolate certified by the Rainforest Alliance.

About the Rainforest Alliance

Rainforest Alliance certification is a comprehensive process that promotes and guarantees improvements in agriculture and forestry. Their independent seal of approval ensures that goods and services were produced in compliance with strict guidelines protecting the environment, wildlife, workers and local communities. The Rainforest Alliance, in addition, prepares tourism businesses to meet the standards of various global tourism certification programs through training and technical assistance, and works with companies on procurement of sustainable goods.
