We report every year on the progress of time-bound, measurable targets, and these reports are verified by an independent, third-party assurance provider. Our efforts and impact are also regularly recognized by independent organizations.

We are committed to driving long-term systemic change for a sustainable cocoa supply chain, with the support of our customers and to the benefit of all stakeholders.

For Forever Chocolate to become a reality, public intervention is required to drive structural change beyond Barry Callebaut’s direct supply chain. An enabling policy environment and government action in origin countries is essential to address the issue of traceability, rural infrastructure development and proper enforcement of national policies and legislation.

Our approach combines ambitious targets, thought leadership, customer solutions, and operational excellence. 

• Thought leadership: We are committed to leading by example and providing valuable insights through, for example, the release of our White Paper which underpins our vision for a transformative approach to improve the existing cocoa farming model in Côte d'Ivoire and, more broadly, across West Africa.
• Customer solutions: Our customers are our priority and we have developed key flagship programs that provide innovative solutions tailored to their needs. 
• Operational excellence: This driven by our 1,600+ colleagues in cocoa-origin countries, who are the backbone of our organization. As the largest supplier of sustainable cocoa products and chocolate, we excel across the entire supply chain, scaling key activities with precision.
