Focus areas
Together with our members, we identified the most pressing challenges demanding joint action. No single organisation can tackle these alone. We focus on three critical areas where collaboration can drive transformative change in addressing cocoa sector sustainability.
We bring people in the cocoa industry together. We convene, co-create, and collaborate to improve farmer income, end deforestation and combat child labour. Together, we build impactful solutions for a more sustainable cocoa industry.
Our approach
Convening cocoa sector stakeholders and promoting collaboration is at the core of our approach. To strengthen the sustainability of the cocoa sector requires the collective strength of diverse perspectives and stakeholders. By convening between key players within and beyond the sector, we create dialogue, exchange of ideas and cooperative problem-solving.
What we do
We drive cocoa industry sustainability by convening stakeholders, co-creating and leading sector-wide initiatives and collaborative programmes that are linked to private and public investments. We create tools and methods for impact measurement that are aligned across the sector. Our collaborative approach shows how partnerships can drive change, create ownership and ensure transparency.

Tracing the origin and production of cocoa is crucial to meet the expectations of both global consumers and regulators ensuring responsible and sustainable cocoa sourcing. As part of this critical impact initiative, we are enabling companies to comply with new regulations like the EUDR.
