Cocoa is our primary commodity and a central focus area. We actively support economic, social and environmental sustainability for cocoa farmers, their families and communities through broad-based initiatives. We believe progress in these areas is essential to achieving sustainability in cocoa growing. Our vision includes:

• Transparent financial returns for farms and communities
• Effective farmer support organizations that facilitate group selling, training and services
• Sound, productive farming practices, including improved planting material and crop diversification
• Environmental stewardship that emphasizes healthy soil, clean water and Integrated Pest Management
• Healthy communities and farms that ensure responsible, safe labor practices and opportunities for women and youth

We seek suppliers and partners that share these objectives and want to work with us to support their achievement, and ensure we align our own business practices with changing needs and opportunities.
