Transparency & Traceability Across Our Cocoa Supply Chain
This map displays all the locations of the farms and farmers of Godavari cocoa which we are directly sourcing from East Godavari and west Godavari in India
By publicly sharing this information, we are contributing to transparency and traceability in our cocoa products. This data also demonstrates the evolution of our data collection capabilities and our confidence in the robustness of our data.
The map currently covers 100% of our direct supply chain. In line with our core principle of partnering with other stakeholders to create tangible impact on the ground and make sustainable chocolate the norm, this map also extends beyond our direct sourcing of farmers.
To safeguard the privacy of smallholder farmers, we are making our traceability data publicly accessible up to the warehouse level. Simultaneously, we gather farm-level data through polygon mapping. Comparing this data with satellite images of forests are essential in our efforts to combat deforestation. Additionally, to manage the risk associated with deforestation or illegal production, we closely monitor the volume of cocoa sourced from these mapped areas and compare it to credible yield assumptions.
We will continue to update this map as part of our continuing progression towards a more transparent supply chain. Further we are expecting more transparency to our customers from which tree your chocolate belongs to
