Kakao platfform
Joint efforts for sustainable cocoa
At least 80% of products containing cocoa imported by Switzerland should come from sustainable farming by 2025. In the long term, all cocoa imports are to come from sustainable sources.
That is the target set by the Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa, founded in 2018. The platform brings together a group of 41 stakeholders from the Swiss cocoa sector to pool the strengths of individual companies, civil society and the federal government. Switzerland supports the platform as an innovative partnership project with the private sector..

The platform advocates common goals regarding cocoa production and conducts a dialogue with all stakeholders. It develops new solutions for the social and ecological problems in the entire cocoa value chain.
Sustainability is a top priority. Plant cultivation, trading of beans, product processing and sales should all have a positive social, ecological and economic impact on cocoa-producing countries.
The livelihoods of more than 6 million cocoa farmers worldwide depend on the cultivation of cocoa beans. These farmers produce around 4 million tonnes of beans, which are then processed into chocolate or other luxury foods. About 3% is made into Swiss chocolate.
