Butlers Chocolates is firmly pledged to sustainable and ethical practices across the business, such as a commitment to local sourcing, using recyclable packaging and the reduction of single-use plastic. All chocolates are made using sustainably sourced cocoa.

The Butlers factory in Dublin has zero waste to landfill and hosts one of Ireland’s largest solar panel installation on its roof, which since installation has produced the equivalent energy to produce 6 million chocolate bars. Travel Retail has been at the heart of the business for over 40 years. In fact, Butlers pioneered the development of the premium chocolate category in Dublin Airport, at a time when the category was in its infancy on the Irish high street. The Butlers brand is now available in many countries and domestic and international airports around the globe. 

Butlers are also known and loved throughout Ireland and beyond for our eponymous retail concept - Butlers Chocolate Café, an innovative experience personifying the Butlers brand in over 30 stores worldwide including Dubai Airport and other locations in the Middle East and South Asia.

Butlers has won many accolades over the years including Supplier of the Year at the prestigious Frontier Awards in Cannes. The company exhibits at TFWA Cannes and TFWA AP every year.

In addition to the Chocolate Collection, Butlers will also show for the first time in Asia, its stylish and successful edit on the flavour of the moment, Gin, with its range of Drumshanbo Gunpowder Irish Gin chocolate truffles and bars.
