How is CFI Relevant to You?
Through the CFI, 35 companies representing
around 85% of total global usage, and the top two
producing country governments have made a
pledge to work together to put an end to
deforestation related to cocoa production and
prevent further land degradation. Beyond the
pledge, the CFI provides a platform to help
companies and governments formulate and
implement detailed action plans to reach these
commitments. This includes piloting new
approaches at landscape level, supporting farmers
in adopting sustainable cocoa farming practices,
and helping communities protect the forests they
depend on.
