Dear
Dagobians,
As
the snow falls and the the year comes to a close, we are
reminded of the many gifts we have encountered this year.
This reflection is such a gift in itself because it brings
a deep sense of gratitude and the reminder to give back.
"As you give, you will receive" - this we know
is true.
We
have been blessed with the wonder of cacao, the exquisite
pleasure of artisan chocolate, the beauty of nature, support
from our customers and the friendship of cacao producers,
colleagues and fellow employees.
Honoring
that, we can do no less than return these by planting new seeds of joy,
hope and partnership. At Dagoba, that means sharing the rewards and
always seeking to operate and live more sustainably.
This year, we supported over 100 non-profit groups through our donation program, co-funded ecological research
in Costa Rica and worked hard to expand the market for our products,
thus sharing the sweet rewards of sustainability with cacao
communities, our own neighbors and the environment on a wider scale.
At
the same time, we've initiated a Full Circle Sustainability Committee
to make our operations more ecologically and socially responsible,
expand our community programs and take our quality to a new dimension.
This inspires new ways of living, taking our mission full circle.
Thanks
for joining us. Please help us continue to widen the circle by sharing
Dagoba with friends and loved ones this season,. and treat yourself,
too!
Choco- Regards,
Your friends and family at DAGOBA
PS: Please join us in addressing global warming! Offset carbon emissions from electricity, travel and more through the Bonneville Environmental Foundation.
This is a great sustainable gift to pair with Dagoba! Give the gift of
energy conservation, too - compact florescent bulbs make great stocking
stuffers! |
