"Cocoa Coalition statement on Omnibus initiative", 20 January 2025

In the light of the discussion around the ‘Omnibus’ regulation, a large number of chocolate sector actors (including companies Nestlé, Mars, Mondelez, Ferrero, Hershey and Tony’s Chocolonely, as well as NGOs, sustainability standards and other organisations), united in the Cocoa Coalition today urges the European Commission to not modify any elements of the CSDDD, nor to reopen it for renegotiation by the co-legislators, but to focus on the preparations as required in the CSDDD.
