Our Corporate Values

A Focus on Quality & Values in Three Viewpoints

In our pursuit of the best premium chocolate, we are focused on the question: "What will our grandchildren think?” It is through this enlarged lens that we consider the long-term implication of every business decision we make. We are constantly studying the impact on quality and how SPAGnVOLA‘s values are reflected and magnified.

At every step, our values guide all of our decisions and we are as intentional about responsible practices as we are about premium quality. In addition to making the best premium chocolate, we are building a business based on values that we hope will serve as a model and an inspiration to current and future entrepreneurs. From sustainability and premium quality to economic opportunity, education and community, we make all of our decisions based on our values and long-term vision, not our short-term gain.

In the Environment

We practice sustainable farming.

  • Because we the earth and our farmers, we grow our cacao trees without pesticide. As such, our premium quality chocolate is not contaminated with chemicals.

We Provide Economic and Empowerment Opportunities

  • Because we value honoring our employees with empowerment opportunities, we encourage our farmers to grow shade crops under the fruit trees for their own profit in addition to their salary.
  • Because we value treating our employees with respect and acknowledge their critical role in our mission, we have an open book and door policy to our chocolate factory and boutique.
  • Our farmers and employees are invested in the quality of SPAGnVOLA chocolate and the success of our business.

Through Relationships

Our transparency shows our pride in the natural resources, people, and artisan processes that yield SPAGnVOLA premium chocolate. Accordingly, we invite everyone to visit our factory and enthusiasm.
