Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate. The essentials united.
Corporate responsibility
At Cargill, corporate responsibility is a process of continually improving our standards, actions and practices. It is a company-wide commitment to work with and in our communities to tackle complex economic, environmental and social challenges.
In Cargill Cocoa & Chocolate we have long-standing practices on corporate responsibility. We have been among the first to initiate a wide variety of activities to ensure cocoa is grown in a sustainable and responsible way to the highest quality possible.
Through our training programmes we engage with the cocoa farmers. The programmes focus on good farming practices to result in better quality beans and larger crops. It brings higher income to the farmers and their families to ultimately raise their living standards. To reinforce our efforts we have committed to the UTZ CERTIFIED ‘Good Inside’ cocoa initiative to establish and implement a worldwide certification and traceability system that ensures a sustainable and transparent cocoa supply chain.
We recognise that our continued success is dependent upon the growth and health of the cocoa communities and our partners.
Our commitment is centred on four key areas:
1. Business Conduct
How we behave as a company
2. People Practices
How we treat our employees
3. Environmental Stewardship
How we treat the world around us
4. Community Involvement
How we interact with communities and stakeholders
