Commitment to chocolate

Cargill Inc. is increasing its commitment to sustainable-sourced cocoa as Western consumers seek greater assurance that their chocolate consumption isn't fueling deforestation and child labor...As a supply chain leader, Cargill is often scrutinized for its role in either helping or hurting environmental and social concerns associated with the harvesting of cocoa beans. The release of the company's third annual cocoa report comes on the heels of an investigative report by the British newspaper the Guardian that found "dirty cocoa" - or cocoa illegally grown within protected areas in Cote d'Ivoire, or the Ivory Coast - was being mixed into the "clean cocoa" supply chain...Cargill said its goals have evolved as the challenges faced by smallholder farmers have changed. The company has now turned these "evidence-based" discoveries into tangible steps that it can take to reach its goals by 2030. Taco Terheijden, Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate's director of sustainability, said he hopes this acts as a clear declaration to define the industry's role and hopes it helps the local governments define their own role as well. " If you don't define your role, it becomes this thing where we are pointing toward one another and waiting for someone else to do something. These are not easy, quick problems to be solved," Terheijden said. Cargill aims to eliminate child labor from its supply chain by 2025 and deforestation by 2030. It has implemented a number of educational programs for its farmers to spot and avoid such practices. The company also continues to partner with CARE International, a well-known nonprofit, which is working to create economic opportunities for women and open schools for children. The company is closer to reaching 100 percent sustainable sourced cocoa beans in some countries, such as Ivory Coast, than in others, like Ghana where only 4 percent can be traced to sustainable sources.
