We recognize that more can be done to ensure a sustainable supply chain.
In 2019, we made a major decision to be more directly involved in sustainability initiatives. We have committed to a greener supply chain and the implementation of our own sustainability programs in origin countries. Currently, we have established partnerships with suppliers, multinational corporations (MNC) customers, and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to invest funds and efforts in cocoa sustainability programs. |

In early 2020, GCB joined the Cocoa & Forests Initiative (CFI), a public-private partnership in collaboration with the governments of Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana and the world’s leading cocoa and chocolate companies to end deforestation and restore forest areas.
