Vision

WCF’s vision is to be a catalyst for a thriving and equitable cocoa sector that is collaborating to improve farmer income, reverse deforestation and combat child labour.

 

Mission

Our mission is to promote collaboration amongst our members and beyond to strengthen the sustainability of the cocoa sector and improve the livelihoods of cocoa farmers and cocoa farming communities.

Our strategic approach

WCF focuses on three strategic priorities that drive collective progress:

  • Enabling Environments: WCF works with governments, regulators and global institutions to shape policy environments that support a sustainable and resilient cocoa sector.
  • Sustainability Standards and Regulatory Assurance: The cocoa sector faces growing regulatory expectations and increasing demands for transparency and consistency.
  • One Sector Voice: The cocoa sector is navigating increasing scrutiny, evolving regulation and rising expectations for transparency.

Our global reach

WCF operates across six continents, engaging policymakers and partners in key cocoa-producing countries such as Côte d’Ivoire, Ghana, Brazil, Ecuador, Colombia, Cameroon, Indonesia, and Nigeria. We work with global institutions including the UN, ILO, and FAO to ensure our tools meet international standards while remaining practical and locally grounded.
