Charity Partnerships Project Seahorse Since 1998, Guylian have been a major sponsor of the Project Seahorse marine conservation group and over this time have reportedly donated more than €1.75 million to marine conservation efforts. Project Seahorse is an international organisation from Vancouver and London that looks after marine ecosystems and finds solutions to conservation issues affecting wild seahorses. Guylian raise awareness for Project Seahorse's efforts through posts on their social media, messages on their website and a conservation message printed on the back of every box of their chocolates. They have also run outreach activities to raise awareness such as school education programs and seahorse photo competitions. The Guylian Seahorses of the World Photo Competition is held every two years to gather and judge pictures and videos of wild seahorses from all over the world. The submissions are added to the iSeahorse platform database and are used for scientific research and education programs to improve understanding of seahorses and their habitats by analysing the worldwide distribution of seahorse species. The iSeahorse and app website allows anyone to share images of wild seahorses for science and to better understand the threats seahorses face and help protect them. Together with Guylian, Project Seahorse have helped to limit exportation of seahorses and protect threatened reefs in Hong Kong and the Philippines and for their efforts won a Corporate Social Responsibility Award in 2019. Cocoa Horizons Foundations (Project Cocoa) Guylian work with the Barry Callebaut Cocoa Horizons foundation which is an independent not for profit group with aims to improve cocoa farmers working conditions and increase the sustainability of cocoa cultivation. Together they work on Project Cocoa to develop communities and protect the environment by introducing entrepreneurial farming. In 2018, Guylian removed palm oil from their products and replaced it with sunflower oil and shea butter. This resulted in more sustainable chocolates which contained less sugar and saturated fat and aligned with their goals to become the leading Palm oil Free Belgian Chocolate brand. They also aim to have 100% of their cocoa sustainably sourced by 2025. References External links Guylian USA Guylian website worldwide
