WCF unites the global cocoa and chocolate sector around a single purpose - ensuring a sustainable, resilient and accessible cocoa supply. We convene companies, cooperatives, governments and civil society to deliver the shared frameworks and policies that strengthen sustainability across the value chain.
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.
