Cocoa comes with big challenges. From deforestation and low farmer incomes to child labour and complex supply chains. Most cocoa is grown by smallholders, often in areas under pressure from climate change and crop diseases. In the past year, cocoa prices have risen sharply due to poor harvests, making the situation even tougher for many farmers.
We see cocoa as a priority risk raw material. That’s why we’re working closely with suppliers to improve traceability and support more sustainable farming systems.
