Exhibitors

At the Schoggifestival, companies, organizations, research institutes, and NGOs that impress us with their social and environmental responsibility present their products, business models, and projects.

At the Schoggifestival ehrundredlich, we support to our best knowledge and conscience those companies that convince us with their social and ecological responsibility, but also with their products: social entrepreneurs, bean-to-bar companies, direct trade organisations, but also start-ups that attach great importance to the authentic character of their chocolate, pioneers in empowerment and trading companies that economically combine social and ecological values and build sustainable supply chains for chocolate – an honest generation of cocoa and chocolate companies.

The NGOs and the research that belong to this area with critical and innovative ideas are also welcome.

Exhibitors taking part in the chocolate market 2026

GOOD CHOCOLATE HUB

The Good Chocolate Hub association is the organizer of the Schoggifestival ehrundredlich and is committed to sustainability and fairness throughout the entire cocoa and chocolate value chain. We build bridges between cocoa production and chocolate consumption by combining enjoyment with responsible action, thus linking food production with culture and politics. Our goal is to promote a sustainable cocoa and chocolate system that respects both people and the environment. Two stands await you at the festival: an exhibition on the cocoa production chain and an action stand where you can take a look behind the scenes of the chocolate world with us.

ROSA CANINA

Rosa Canina is our declaration of love. To craftsmanship. To the quality of the finest ingredients. And to the joy of experimentation. We make no compromises in our work. For us, this is not an exaggeration, but an absolute necessity. Because only with an uncompromising commitment to the highest quality can something truly special be created: first-class chocolate. Made from select cocoa beans. Grown on carefully selected farms from Nicaragua to Guatemala. Handcrafted in Berlin – from bean to bar. Produced in small batches. Aromatic. Fair. Organic. For authentic cocoa enjoyment.

OHENE CACAO

Ohene Cocoa is dedicated to cultivating, processing and promoting premium cocoa products from Ghana’s Eastern Region. Rooted in a family tradition of cocoa farming around Asamankese and Mangoase, the company follows a farm-to-product model that guarantees traceability, single-origin quality and responsible land management. Ohene Cocoa focuses on value addition at origin by transforming beans into artisanal chocolate bars, cocoa nibs, snacks, beverages and specialty products. We complement production with agro-tourism and cocoa farm tours, enabling visitors to experience cultivation, harvesting and post-harvest processes first-hand.

GARÇOA

The bean-to-bar pioneer in Switzerland seeks out wonderful organic cocoa from fair and transparent value chains. In their women-run manufactory in Zurich, Garçoa processes the cocoa themselves from the bean to the finished bar, creating a chocolate full of character that lets you experience the cocoa, the variety and the terroir. They make their chocolate from just two ingredients (organic cocoa and organic raw cane sugar) and deliberately avoid adding cocoa butter. Pure chocolate pleasure!

CLARO FAIR TRADE

Since 1977, claro fair trade has favoured fair farming methods and strengthened local communities in cocoa producing countries. Its chocolates combine high-quality ingredients such as organic cocoa from El Ceibo (Bolivia) and whole cane sugar from the Philippines, refined by traditional conching in Switzerland. The aim is to make chocolate production fairer and more sustainable, both for the small farmers' co-operative and for the environment. The support and commitment of claro fair trade for Fairafric, which offers chocolate produced 100% in Ghana, should be emphasised in particular.

Coalition Corporate responsibility

The Coalition for Corporate Responsibility consists of over 90 human rights and environmental organizations as well as aid agencies that are committed to the new Corporate Responsibility Initiative, which requires large Swiss corporations to respect human rights and environmental standards abroad. Corporate responsibility is also urgently needed in the chocolate trade, as corporations such as Lindt & Sprüngli profit from highly toxic pesticides and child labor on cocoa plantations. Volunteers from the local committees in Zurich will be present

ARBOFINO

Chocolate indulgence made from our own premium cacao – characterized by rich biodiversity. Produced by an award-winning chocolatier in Quito, ensuring that as much of the added value as possible remains in the country of origin. Our Arriba cacao grows according to organic guidelines in a biodiverse mixed-crop system, cultivated by local people with fair wages and social security. With every chocolate product, 1 m² of threatened tropical rainforest in the adjacent protected area of our non-profit Fundación Bosquefino is also preserved from deforestation for the long term. Indulgence that makes a difference.

NOTES DE FEVE

Adapting the chocolate to the bean: That is the motto of our chocolaterie Bean to Bar. The cocoa changes with each harvest, depending on the weather and fermentation. At Notes de fève, the roasting, recipe and conching are adapted to the new harvest in order to get the best out of each bean. This is how our chocolate evolves from one year to the next. Our aim is to offer you a delicious chocolate that enhances the bean. And whoever says quality must also say ethics! We work with co-operatives and small cocoa plantations. The payment of the farmers and the size of the farms are stated transparently on our website.

Cacao de Corazón:

The Joy of Indulgence. At Cacao de Corazón, pure enjoyment is a matter of the heart. Careful handcrafting transforms select cacao into chocolate with character. As a small bean-to-bar label, we do everything ourselves, from selecting the beans at the farmers' farms to the finished bar. Small batches and honest recipes – without artificial additives or flavorings – give each cacao the perfect stage, highlighting its unique character. Our goal is to continually surprise all the senses. We cultivate long-term, friendly relationships with "our" farmers, visit them regularly, and guarantee them living wages. Whenever possible, we buy directly and avoid intermediaries. This strengthens the independence and income of the cooperatives. Together, we work on projects that increase market opportunities, strengthen the social fabric, and protect the environment. Thus, our cacao has a healthy origin in every respect. Cacao de Corazón brings joy and pleasure to everyone!

FRANZ ZIEGLER

Franz Ziegler, award-winning author, chocolatier, and now also a Raku artist, drew inspiration from nature and sculpted "CABOSSE" using the Japanese Raku firing technique. Each of these creations is unique, hand-modeled and colored. Holding them in your hand is a truly sensual experience. Franz Ziegler's talent for modeling has been known worldwide since his books on marzipan and chocolate. Clay felt familiar and natural to him. His teacher, Lucia Munuera-Blum, inspired him with her perfect technique and the harmonious forms of her art. The first "CABOSSE" in clay was created in a free-style session. Franz Ziegler was so thrilled with the result that he created a series, which he gifted to his friends and partners of the sensational Nacional Cacao Fund in Peru. The emotional response encouraged him to make these "CABOSSE" available to other art-loving chocolate enthusiasts.
