Fazer promotes sustainable cocoa farming

Fazer is a member of the World Cocoa Foundation. We co-operate with international actors in the cocoa and chocolate industry in order to improve the conditions on cocoa farms and in farming communities. The goal is that by 2017, the origin of Fazer’s cocoa will be traceable and all the cocoa fulfils the criteria of responsible production.

Sustainable development and social responsibility are very important factors in Fazer’s operations. Responsible cocoa sourcing at Fazer is based on improving traceability and following the principlesof the World Cocoa Foundation: People, Profit, and Planet. We do not accept the use of child labour.  

Developing the traceability of cocoa is an important goal. When we know where our cocoa comes from, we can be convinced there are proper conditions in the primary production.

Fazer will continue the systematic work to improve the responsibility of the cocoa procurement chain. We agree to increase the purchase amounts of raw material that meets the criteria for responsible cocoa sourcing by 10 to 15 per cent on an annual basis according to the availability and market conditions.
