maintain control over the supply of products from origin right up to delivery to customers.” With subsidiaries in originating regions, and agents in key locations, Lieutard says Touton’s strength lies in the skills of its workers, the cultural diversity of its teams, and a deep understanding of the countries in which the company operates. Touton is committed to the development of a sustainable supply chain that promotes the implementation of good agricultural, economic, social and environmental practices. The company’s first sustainability programs date back to the late 1990s when the group started working on projects to increase cocoa farmers’ livelihoods around its own plantation in Côte d’Ivoire. The cocoa beans Touton sources through its sustainability programs are traceable all along


the supply chain, from origin to the consumer, allowing better monitoring and understanding of the communities of farmers the company works with. Touton’s cocoa-related sustainable development achievements to date include: training more than 13,000 farmers on good agricultural, social and environmental practices; providing in- depth training for farmers on financial literacy; and promoting diversification to include cash crops to support cocoa households’ incomes and improve diets. In addition, Touton has developed a unique partnership with the Ghana Cocoa Board, Forestry Commission and a consortium of partners to address causes of deforestation through an ambitious Landscape Governance Program.
