Partnership Spotlight
Nestlé Cocoa Plan >
As the Rainforest Alliance has done with companies like Williams Sonoma, Henkel, and Hunter, we work with Nestlé on their sustainability strategy and commitments in the Nestlé Cocoa Plan. Like many of our partnerships, our work started with certification but grew alongside Nestlé’s global commitments. Since 2017, we have been collecting data and providing insights on the impact of their interventions. The lessons that emerge allow Nestlé to take a deep dive into key risks and adjust their sourcing practices accordingly.
Is your company ready to define and meet your sustainability commitments?
