Equal Exchange Organic Hot Cocoa - 12oz

A: Great question! The only product we have currently certified is our coffee which proudly bears the Simbolo de Pequeños Productores or SPP. It is the first Fair Trade farmer owned certification. You can read more about this certification here: Equal Exchange is a pioneer of the fair trade movement and was the first fair trade certified coffee company in the US. Since that time, we have tried various ways to best align certification with our mission of supporting small-scale farmers through authentic fair trade. Over the years we have had several certifications on our products, but we watched as the system shifted away from the original goals of Fair Trade, which we believe is creating market access for small-scale farmers on fair terms, and become far more focused on building a brand and sales, often to the benefit of large multi-nationals while at the expense of the organizations and farmers who helped create the system. Therefore, in 2015 we decided to remove consumer facing certification from our products. In summary, we have been less than excited by our experience with various certifiers and are investing more heavily in building our own brand, all while fulfilling and going beyond the original commitments we made with those pioneering small farmer organizations who created the first fair trade certification system. All of our cacao and sugar farmer partners are certified by Fairtrade International.
