BEING FAIR TO YOU Our sense of fairness extends to you, too. We believe in 100% Happiness; we call it your No Excuses Guarantee. If you’re not 100% happy with a product, we guarantee to put it right immediately, refunding or replacing as appropriate.
A little respect
Find out what it means to us – and to you. WE’RE LUCKY. And we know it more at Christmas than at any other time, as our homes fill with fare for the feast and the pile of presents to be wrapped grows. But with our good fortune comes something more: the power of choice, of spending consciously so that the gifts we give our loved ones also give fairly to the people who helped to create them, and the footprint they leave treads lightly on our planet. At Hotel Chocolat, we strive to be a force for good. We aren’t perfect but we’re working on it, and we believe in trying to do the right thing, leaving things better than we find them. From ethical cocoa to sustainable packaging, here’s what’s on our Christmas list that will make you feel proud that we’re on yours...
GIVING COCOA GROWERS A FAIR SHARE We’ve always wanted chocolate lovers to feel more connected with cocoa farmers, because we believe growing cocoa for chocolate deserves as much respect as growing grapes for wine.
That’s one of the reasons we started growing our own cocoa at our Rabot Estate plantation on the Caribbean island of Saint Lucia in 2006. At the same time, we teamed up with local farmers to give Saint Lucia’s exceptional cocoa the international spotlight it deserves – and to pass more of the financial rewards on to them. Cocoa farmers often don’t see a fair share of the profits from chocolate sales, but through our Engaged Ethics
22
programme, we guarantee to buy farmers’ harvests at more than twice the bulk cocoa market price. This gives them the security they need to invest in their farms and their families’ futures.
“All of our chocolate is from 100% Engaged Ethics Cocoa” Today, 220 Saint Lucian farmers are part of our Island Growers team, and all of the chocolate in our range comes from 100% Engaged Ethics Cocoa. Much of it is sourced from Ghana, where we make fair and direct payments to cocoa growers in the Osuben community. We’re also supporting farmers with free technical help, training and top-quality cocoa tree seedlings supplied at a low price, as we’ve been doing since 2001. In recognition of the relationship we’ve formed with the community, where we’ve also opened a medical centre, they have appointed our Head of Chocolate Development as a tribal chief, or ‘nana’, with a special responsibility for developing the local cocoa industry. It’s a responsibility we take seriously, and it’s your love of great cocoa that allows us to live up to it.
TAKING CARE OF THE ENVIRONMENT We buy all our electricity from recyclable sources – mostly wind and solar. And by 2021 if not sooner, we plan for 100% of our packaging to be compostable, reusable or recyclable – and our revolution has already begun.
that are completely compostable – look out for their launch as early as next year. Over the next few years, you’ll start to see all of our packaging subtly changing, with lighter designs that use fewer components and smarter materials that are compostable, reusable or recyclable. It’s not easy being green, but it’s worth it. We’ll keep you posted on the journey to our 2021 target.
“Cocoa will always be our first ingredient, not sugar”
It’s a tall order, but we’re passionate about making it happen. To start with, the cups in our cafés and restaurants are now completely compostable – even the lids and spoons – as we now make them from corn starch instead of plastic. We’ve never used plastic bags and we’ve replaced single-use plastic straws with recyclable cardboard and paper. In fact, almost all the cardboard and paper we use is already certified by the Forest Stewardship Council and comes from sustainably managed UK forests. Right now, most of our plastic trays are made with recyclable plastic. But we aim to remove all singleuse, non-recyclable plastic from our entire range by 2021. We are trialling sugarcane-based 100% plant-fibre trays
bar of the UK’s bestselling milk chocolate is just 20% cocoa and 56% sugar. That could be because sugar is 20 times cheaper than cocoa. This low-cocoa chocolate often uses cheaper, lower quality cocoa too, because high levels of sugar can dull its poor flavour. And that not only denies you high-quality cocoa’s nuanced notes of brownie, coffee, fruit and more, it removes value from the supply chain, contributing to the poverty trap of many cocoa growers.
NO FAKE INGREDIENTS, EVER We believe in natural chocolate. That means nothing artificial, ever. Nature supplies all we need. All of our recipes are made with natural ingredients: our vibrant pink comes from beetroot, our orange from carrots. It’s the pressed berries that make our Raspberry Smoothie so zingy, and the natural oomph of the real thing that powers our Passion Fruit. MORE COCOA, LESS SUGAR Cocoa will always be our first ingredient, not sugar. Today, a typical
Meanwhile, low-cocoa chocolate delivers a nerve-jangling sugar rush instead of a satisfying cocoa hit. Our house milk chocolate contains 40–50% cocoa, our dark 70%. Our Supermilk has 65% minimum. We won’t pretend chocolate is one of your five-a-day, but we certainly find it takes less high-cocoa chocolate to keep you satisfied. THE REAL DEAL Our advice for choosing the best chocolate is simple: always check the ingredients, and follow the golden rule: Cocoa first = chocolate. Sugar first = confectionery, not chocolate. We rake back the sugar so the cocoa can sing – so it has to be the best.
Keeping It Simple To experience great cocoa, there’s no better way to start than with a baton. Elegantly sized, with curves designed for tasting, our solid chocolate batons are perfect for discovering new chocolates or savouring old favourites – over coffee, after dinner or just nibbling and sharing.

Chocolate. Cream. Vodka. Yes, Vodka...
For the past two years we’ve been crafting the perfect Chocolat Cream Liqueur. We’re the only chocolatier to run three bars; one on our Saint Lucian cocoa plantation, the others at our restaurant in London’s Borough Market and Leeds flagship. Not only is this a lot of fun, we’ve learnt a thing or two about chocolate and alcohol along the way. We already had a killer ingredient in our armoury – our rich, full-bodied 70% house dark. But rather than falling back on the traditional whiskey base, we wanted to create something entirely different. We needed a spirit that allowed the chocolate to really sing out. Something clean, contemporary and entirely original.

Our chocolatiers are bon vivants, always on the lookout for tantalising new alcohols from foreign lands and small-batch distilleries to pair with premium grades of cocoa. There are no short measures, pressed grape stalks or alcohol substitutes. From the daily pop of Mercier Champagne corks to mouth-warming vodka with lashings of real cream, it simply has to be authentic. We wouldn’t settle for anything less. Cheers.

The Hotel Chocolat Effect
Not all chocolates are created equal. Original, authentic and ethical, made with nothing artificial, ever and with cocoa as the first ingredient for that inimitable depth, sending Hotel Chocolat chocolate tells the recipient you believe they’re worth more. But don’t just take our word for it…
“Hotel Chocolat have been fantastic in helping us provide token goodwill gestures for our customers this year. From the Sleeksters to the Chocolatier’s Table, your elegantly presented (not to mention delicious) chocolates always go down a storm! Thanks for offering such an efficient and friendly service, it’s a pleasure working with you.” PSA Groupe (Peugeot, Citroën etc) “Thank you for our recent delivery of 1,000 corporate branded boxes of chocolates, for your professional service every step of the way, your outstanding product quality, which is very much appreciated, and your chocolates – which we believe are second to none.” GBRacing
