Mission & Interests

Goals: ICI is a Swiss-based multi-stakeholder initiative advancing the elimination of child labour and forced labour in cocoa growing communities by uniting the forces of the cocoa and chocolate industry, civil society, farming communities, governments, international organizations and donors. ICI’s Vision is of thriving cocoa-growing communities within a dignified, sustainable and responsibly managed cocoa supply chain, where child rights and human rights are protected and respected, and where child labour and forced labour are eliminated. ICI’s strategic objectives aim for a responsible cocoa supply-chain (where systems and services that responsibly and transparently prevent and remediate child labour and forced labour are strengthened, conjoined and scaled-up) working within a supportive enabling environment (where national and international policies and systems are conducive to change) as part of an integrated and coordinated multi-stakeholder effort.
