In its media release on 7 February, Mars Switzerland writes:
In 2018, family-owned Mars committed to accelerate the transformation of the cocoa supply chain towards a more modern, inclusive and sustainable supply chain: With "Cocoa for Generations", the company is focusing on long-term solutions to promote respect for human rights, protect the environment and create opportunities for a better life. Mars Switzerland's membership of SWISSCO, the Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa, demonstrates the company's commitment to a responsible cocoa value chain for present and future generations, also through the Swiss Mars organisation.
Christian Robin, Executive Director SWISSCO, says: "With Mars, we have a strong partner that supports our collaborative approach to make our Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa a flagship project on how specific challenges in value chains can be addressed in partnership, serving as a showcase for other commodity sectors."
