Creating a fair and sustainable cocoa sector
Our challenges related to the cocoa sector
Our cocoa strategy is evolving to this day and it is structured around our three fundamental principles:
- improving the living and working conditions of farmers,
- protecting the environment
- preserving the soil and flavors.
Improving conditions in schools and communities’ health and hygiene are major focus areas which improve our relationships on the ground, as are protecting forest areas and reducing carbon emissions.
The cocoa team is ramping up its commitment to its partners so that we can set up joint projects that impact producers’ and families’ living conditions.
