The Nestlé Cocoa Plan is built on three pillars:
Better Farming
We’re providing training and resources to help cocoa farmers improve yields and quality of produce. These promote good agricultural practices, such as pruning and planting shade trees to improve yields and increase resilience to weather conditions. We are also helping farmering families to diversify their income sources, by supporting the implementation of VSLAS (Village Savings and Loans Associations).
Better Lives
It has been shown that when women are given more autonomy, communities thrive. We’re working to help improve social conditions of cocoa farming families, promote gender equality, help improve household revenues and incentivizing greater access to education. This also helps to reduce child labour risks. For example, together with our partners, we are supporting women in cocoa-growing communities through Village Savings and Loans Associations (VSLAs) , empowering them and improving their access to finances.
Better Cocoa
We’re working on making our cocoa supply chain more transparent and traceable, and focusing on implementing cocoa forest initatives. As part of this initiative, we are collaborating with the Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of the Environment, Barry Callebaut, Touton, and Cocoasource, Swissco and Earthworm Foundation to protect the Cavally forest.
