The Fremantle store has committed to the Fairtrade Cocoa Program, which works on connecting cocoa farmers with businesses who want to buy their goods fairly and sustainably.
San Churro Fremantle owner Sharon Menzies said they were thrilled to support the program.
“As a local business, we’re all about providing the best chocolate indulgences and service in the most delightful way,” she said.
“Knowing that our support is helping to improve the lives of cocoa farmers and their communities around the world enhances the indulgence even further.”
