At the end of 2021, 75% of the cocoa volume for
our chocolate brands was sourced sustainably
through our Cocoa Life program, and we aim
to deliver 100% by 2025. The program invests
in cocoa farming communities in Côte d’Ivoire,
Ghana, Indonesia, Brazil, the Dominican Republic
and India, and already works with more than
200,000 farmers. Our main cocoa suppliers
are listed as partners on our Cocoa Life
website, and the full list of our tier 1 and tier
2 suppliers is also available. p. 5

representing 91% of the volume needed for biscuit
production in our EU business unit. p. 5
