The SWEET Impact of Inclusive Hiring

It’s hard to believe, but we've been proudly partnered with The Good Chocolatier for almost a decade! Over the years, this incredible company, led by the wonderful Mara (who, by the way, is adored by our members), has been crafting some of the finest chocolates around, and we’ve been fortunate to witness their journey every step of the way

Since their inception, The Good Chocolatier has been committed to producing high-quality, ethically sourced chocolates that not only taste extraordinary but also make a positive impact on the world. Their dedication to sustainability, community, and craftsmanship aligns perfectly with our own values, making this partnership one that continues to bring us both immense pride and joy.

The Good Chocolatier is women-owned! The chocolates are made in Canada from ethically sourced cacao!

From their rich, artisanal chocolate bars to their indulgent truffles, every product from The Good Chocolatier tells a story of love, care, and respect — from the farmers who grow the cocoa to the social enterprise team that packages the final bar, all the way to the customer who enjoys it.

Their thoughtful approach to sourcing and creating chocolate is something we deeply admire, and it’s been amazing to see how much they’ve grown and evolved over the years.

As part of our ongoing partnership, we play an essential role in the production process by handling The Good Chocolatier’s packaging needs. Our dedicated team labels and packages chocolate bars and pouches, applies best-before dates, and carefully prepares online orders for mailing. We also fold both small and mailing boxes, which we then stamp. This work is carried out by a team of 9 PASS members, three of whom perform these tasks completely independently. During our busiest months, we pack as many as 3,000 bars, ensuring that each product is prepared to reach customers in perfect condition.

As we look back on nearly a decade of collaboration, we are grateful for all the sweet moments, shared milestones, and the incredible impact we’ve been able to make together. We’re excited for what the future holds and look forward to continuing this wonderful journey side by side.

Here’s to many more years of delicious chocolate, lasting partnerships, and spreading sweetness together!
