A multi-stakeholder initiative for more sustainability in the cocoa value chain
The Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa (SWISSCO) fosters collaboration between the cocoa and chocolate industry, the public sector, non-governmental organisations, and research institutes. Together, the members of the Cocoa Platform actively engage to improve the living conditions of cocoa farmers, to protect natural resources, and to promote biodiversity in cocoa producing countries. Participation, partnership, and transparency contribute to a sustainable cocoa value chain, for both present and future generations.
