About Vivani
VIVANI CHOCOLATE – AN ART FORM...
As an innovative pioneer in the world of organic chocolate, we provide lasting moments of pleasure that connect people and bring joy. We create true organic enjoyment with exceptional quality and aesthetics to raise awareness and inspire people to live more sustainable lifestyles. Working together for the fairer and more respectful treatment of people and our natural environment.
Quality, aesthetics, responsibility – the cornerstones of VIVANI’s world of chocolate. We believe that good-quality chocolate is more than a confectionery – it is a valuable piece of art. It is not produced, but lovingly crafted, with passion and inspiration. From the careful selection of ingredients to the artistic and eco-friendly packaging design. It is important for us to give something back to the people and the regions that bestow us with our ingredients. One way of doing this is through measures to help improve living conditions and to create intact ecosystems on the cocoa plantations.
IMPROVING LIVING CONDITIONS
In October 2020 and in order to improve the situation in the cocoa-farming region over the long term, we launched our own »Direct Trade« project for highly sustainable and fairly produced cocoa in the Dominican Republic. This project sees us working together with two strong partners – Weinrich chocolate factory and the Fuparoca Foundation.
The project focuses on the eastern part of the Dominican Republic – the regions of Hato Mayor, El Seibo and Alta Gracia. In these regions, there is a greater need for improvements to the infrastructure than in the main cocoa-growing regions in the central part of the country. The aim: to improve the living conditions of an initial 150 organic cocoa-producing families in a sustainable, holistic and lasting way, and to preserve and increase biological diversity on the farms.
ECOLOGICAL STANDARDS AND SUSTAINABILITY
Nature gives us something – and we thank it with fairness. Therefore, all VIVANI products are certified organic. We value sustainable cocoa and environmentally friendly packaging materials. As the main raw material for our products, the origin and quality of the cocoa are of particular importance to us. We therefore ensure that it is cultivated exclusively in sustainably managed cocoa farms. We use only cocoa from 100% sustainably certified sources that meets either organic, Fairtrade, or other sustainability standards - ideally even a mix of these.

For a high-quality organic product, a manufacturing process that has as little impact on the environment as possible is essential. We are therefore very grateful that our parent plant, the long-established Weinrich chocolate factory in Germany, embraced ecological responsibility early on. In addition to purchasing CO2e-compensated natural gas for its combined heat and power plant since 2021, Weinrich has been sourcing its electricity from renewable sources since 2012. Certified environmental and energy management reduces energy consumption, conserves resources, and reduces water consumption and waste to an acceptable minimum.
