In-house expertise and feet on the ground

As a sustainability leader in the cocoa and chocolate industry, we have developed strong sustainability know-how and capabilities. In addition, with over 1,600 colleagues in cocoa-origin countries, we have a unique pool of expertise, providing in-house capacity to implement and scale our impact on the ground. This combination of expertise and cocoa-origin presence are key enablers of our robust program implementation and impact-driven solutions, and is a point of differentiation for our customers.

Paying farmers for ecosystem services

Our intensified agroforestry approach, launched in 2022 in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, puts the focus on long-term success through training, extended monitoring and payments for ecosystem services (PES). PES means that farmers get paid on a yearly basis for the survival of the planted trees as a reward for carbon removal. Next to the additional money from the PES, the fruit trees planted among the cocoa allow the farmers to further diversify their income.
