PARTNERS AND INDUSTRY MEMBERSHIPS

Partners and Industry Coalition Memberships

We are members of various organizations that cover a range of issues important to our business. Our engagement in these organizations is based on the philosophy of bringing together differing view and to help drive change. At times, our views may differ from others. Here is a sample of the groups we take part in:

THE CONSUMER GOODS FORUM (CGF)

As co-chair of The Consumer Goods Forum, we are committed to the CEO-led organization’s vision of creating better lives through better business. We believe that by collaborating with other industry leaders, we can drive positive change. That is why we also co-sponsor The Global Food Safety Initiative (GFSI), co-chair the Human Rights Coalition and participate actively in the Forest Positive Coalition and Plastic Waste Coalition.

UN HUMAN RIGHTS

We partner with and are members of industry affiliations dedicated to promoting human rights, such as the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (UN Human Rights).

Tropical Forest Alliance (TFA)

We fully support multi-stakeholder collaboration for sector-wide approaches for a forest positive future where industry and NGOs work together to optimize land across sectors in collaboration with producing governments.

World Cocoa Foundation (WCF)

We chair the World Cocoa Foundation, dedicated to catalyzing public-private action to accelerate cocoa sustainability. We fully support the foundation’s multi-stakeholdership approach for transformative change in the cocoa supply chain via joint learnings and knowledge sharing.
