WHAT WE DO
WHERE WE ARE
Chocolate Manufacturing
At CODE Femmes, we are revolutionizing the chocolate industry through ethical sourcing, community empowerment, and cutting-edge production techniques. By working closely with farmers in Eastern Congo, we ensure our cocoa is responsibly grown, reflecting our commitment to ethical practices at every stage of production.
This dedication influences all aspects of our process, enabling us to craft chocolate that combines delightful flavors with exceptional quality, while ensuring affordability and accessibility. As the largest chocolate-making cooperative in East and Central Africa, we proudly set new standards for quality, sustainability and innovation, demonstrating that exceptional taste can create lasting positive change.
Jewelry Manufacturing
Our jewelry line reimagines luxury by transforming responsibly sourced local gold into handcrafted masterpieces. As the first and largest women-led jewelry cooperative in East and Central Africa, we empower women artisans to thrive in an industry historically dominated by men.
Every piece reflects the strength, creativity, and stories of the women behind it. Choosing CODE Femmes means supporting ethical sourcing, celebrating artistry, and making a meaningful impact on communities.
Agro-processing
Sustainability drives everything we do. Through agro-processing, we connect smallholder farmers with global markets, focusing on environmentally conscious practices. We help farmers improve post-harvest handling, add value to their crops, and increase their incomes while strengthening food security in their communities.
Our commitment to sustainability extends to upcycling cocoa waste, turning byproducts like shells and pulp into valuable materials for fertilizer, bioenergy, and other innovative uses. By reducing waste and promoting circular practices, we are creating a model where agriculture not only sustains livelihoods but also protects the environment.
