Cocoa Farming Mondelez International is committed to making a positive
impact on cocoa farming communities. Through their Cocoa Life program, Mondelez aims to empower cocoa farmers, promote sustainable agricultural practices, and address social and environmental issues. They invest in farmer training and
and infrastructure, and work towards improving the livelihoods of cocoa farmers. Mondelez also collaborates with local governments, NGOs, and other stakeholders to drive positive change at a systemic level. These chocolate companies and many others like them play a
crucial role in driving sustainable practices and improving cocoa farming conditions. Their commitments, investments, and collaborations contribute to the empowerment of cocoa farmers, the preservation of ecosystems, and the creation of a more equitable and sustainable cocoa industry. By working together, these companies are helping to shape a future where cocoa farming is economically viable, environmentally responsible, and socially inclusive.
Fighting deforestation in its global cocoa supply chain Deforestation is a global challenge and a major threat to the environment and communities that depend on forests for their livelihoods. Particularly in the two major cocoa-producing
deforestation has taken place since the early 2010s, largely driven by the expansion of agricultural commodities, including cocoa. To address deforestation and promote sustainable cocoa
production, Fuji and Blommer have partnered and announced two new sustainability partnerships. These two new initiatives will strengthen the Fuji Group’s efforts to eradicate deforestation risk from their cocoa supply chain and promote reforestation with a primary focus on Blommer’s direct cocoa farming network. These actions are aligned with the Cocoa and Forest Initiative (CFI), a multi-stakeholder platform that aims to end deforestation and restore forests in the cocoa sector. Satelligence is a geospatial sustainability company. Their
land degradation, and downstream scope 3 emissions make product journeys and investment portfolios sustainable, from tree to shelf. For more information, please visit their website, or their LinkedIn page. Fuji and Blommer have teamed up with Satelligence, the world leader in geospatial forest monitoring, to assess and address deforestation risk in Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, and Ecuador. To provide Blommer with the data needed to carry out their
monitoring and assessments, Satelligence combines satellite imagery, AI-driven algorithms, and ancillary data on cocoa farm The picture that emerges will bolster Blommer’s sustainability
strategy with landscape and farm level insights that include canopy cover change, carbon loss/gain on and around cocoa carbon sequestration monitoring. A real-time risk alerting system is also being implemented to
enhance Blommer’s capacity to swiftly address the drivers of deforestation and forest degradation. For Blommer, the partnership with Satelligence is also an important milestone to ensure compliance with upcoming legislation. Satelligence’s initial assessment covers around 50,000km2
