COCOA LIFE
OUR COCOA
LIFE INITIATIVE
Cocoa Life is Mondelēz International’s global cocoa sustainability program.
Cocoa is the essence of our chocolate and vital to our business, so we ensure it is ‘made right’. Making it right means tackling the complex challenges that cocoa farmers face, including climate change, gender inequality, poverty and child labour.
Cocoa Life is addressing these challenges on the ground, working hand-in-hand with the men and women who make their living from cocoa, focusing on where we can make a difference: turning cocoa into a business of choice, creating inclusive and empowered communities and educating on forest conservation and restoration.
In doing so, we are growing opportunities for cocoa farmers and their families, by tackling all of these problems together.

In doing so, we are growing opportunities for cocoa farmers and their families, by tackling all of these problems together.
Cocoa Life helps communities thrive in six key cocoa-growing origins―Ghana,
Côte d'Ivoire, Indonesia, India, the Dominican Republic and Brazil. We are
helping them gain knowledge and skills to improve their livelihoods,
strengthen their communities and inspire the next generation of cocoa
farmers.
We hold ourselves accountable for creating real change in cocoa-growing
communities. By 2022, Cocoa Life aims to reach 200,000 farmers and one
million community members. This will help us reach our goal to source cocoa
for all of Mondelēz International's chocolate brands from Cocoa Life by
2025. In this way consumers across the world can be confident that the
brands they love are made the right way.
WHO VERIFIES THE IMPACT?
To verify our impact on farmers and through communities and measure progress towards our goal of sourcing all our cocoa sustainably, consistent evaluation is needed. Two independent third parties—Ipsos and FLOCERT—keep us on track.
Impact Evaluation
Ipsos measures our progress on the ground by conducting farmer, farmer
household and
community studies
comparing baseline conditions to developments over at least three years.
The studies
are designed to
evaluate Cocoa Life’s global KPIs across all Cocoa Life origins. Updates
about Cocoa
Life’s journey
and impact will be published annually. For more information on IPSOS’

Ipsos is a global non-partisan, objective research practice.
Supply Chain Verification
FLOCERT verifies the flow of cocoa from Cocoa Life communities into our
supply
chain. It also verifies
the benefits cocoa farmers receive, such as premium payments and clear
trade terms.
Verification
drives learning and transparency, and ensures we are sourcing from the
farming
communities we invest
in.
FLOCERT is a socially-focused and leading global certification body.
