Mission & Interests

Goals: The Cocoa Coalition comprises a group of companies (Ferrero, the Hershey Company, Mars Wrigley, Mondelēz International, Nestlé, Tony’s Chocolonely, Unilever), certification organisations (Fairtrade International, Rainforest Alliance), NGOs (Fair Trade Advocacy Office, Fern, Solidaridad, VOICE Network) and multi-stakeholder organisations (International Cocoa Initiative). Our ultimate aim is to achieve a fully sustainable cocoa supply chain that allows cocoa farmers to enjoy living incomes and reduces and eventually eliminates human rights abuses, including child labour, and environmental degradation. We argue for meaningful change in the sector, and we are active in particular on debates on EU legislation on due diligence, and other EU-focused activities, such as partnerships with cocoa-producing countries.
