VALRHONA 2018 PHILANTHROPY PARTNERSHIP
A philanthropy partnership aimed to empower students for success from their firts day on the job throughout their entire career.
Our “Live Long Program” draws on our years of sustainable practices and community values to formalize our guiding principles which influence everything we do. We set ourselves ambitious goals around COCOA, the ENVIRONMENT, GASTRONOMY and the LIVES OF OUR STAKEHOLDERS, to together create the Valrhona of tomorrow.
One of our goals is to be actively involved in supporting the field of gastronomy and its professionals, both current and future. Our L’École Valrhona schools around the world help continued training for pastry professionals plus offer aspiring or home cooks a chance to discover pastry. We support organizations that grow gastronomy and train future chefs. Our hope is that through these initiatives, we can help make a difference in the lives of young people.

As part of our ambition to develop the talents of future professionals and help underserved youth find passion and employment in the kitchen, we have decided to work with the esteemed C-CAP (Careers through Culinary Arts Program), a charitable 501 (c)(3) educational organization in our shared mission.
