People Planet Profit

How many of you realize that there is a code of business conduct which encompasses and uses these words as cornerstones for their operations? 

Theo Chocolate is a business which practices the Triple Pundit - - an integrated bottom-line approach - - serving people planet and profit.  They believe that economy, environment, and society are interdependent and all need to flourish equally.

What does People Planet and Profits mean?  It means that Theo has adopted a “one for all and all for one” approach to business and life. 

Founder Joseph Whinney pioneered the manufacture and supply of organic chocolate products.  He was the first individual to import organic cocoa beans into North America.  Through his chocolate company and factory he continues his mission to help cacao farmers, consumers and the overall health of the planet.

Theo is the only fair trade, “organic-bean-to-bar” chocolate factory in the United States. They are considered a chocolate “Maker” not a “Melter”.  Theo is one of only twelve “bean-to-bar” makers in the country.  Melters import finished chocolate, rework it, and sell it under their own label.  Theo is the first roaster of Fair Trade Certified cocoa beans and the only roaster of organic cacao beans in the United States.
