Like any favourite recipe, great taste starts with carefully chosen ingredients. That is why we source our cocoa and hazelnuts as Rainforest Alliance Certified. By doing so, we help to ensure that the ingredients you love are grown with care and respect for people and nature. Because for us, it is about creating recipes that can be enjoyed now and for generations to come.
And just like any good recipe, it is about more than great taste. It is also about how these ingredients are grown, sourced and enjoyed, today and for generations to come.
When it comes to cocoa and hazelnuts, we rely on Rainforest Alliance Certified sourcing. The Rainforest Alliance bases sourcing on one shared standard, which sets requirements on topics such as biodiversity, natural resource management, working conditions and farmer livelihoods.
This approach helps protect what matters most, when we think about future generations to come: from biodiversity and forests to the people behind every harvest, farmers, workers and their communities.
At the same time, the Rainforest Alliance Standard addresses social challenges such as working conditions and risks like child labour, where these are identified as relevant.
While cocoa and hazelnuts may grow in different places and face different challenges, the same careful approach is applied to both: helping to ensure that the ingredients you enjoy today can continue to be part of recipes for generations to come.
Discover the journey, from crops to kitchen creations.
Like refining a recipe, certified sourcing takes time, collaboration and continuous improvement. Both the cocoa and hazelnut sectors face a range of challenges: from climate change and deforestation to economic pressure on farmers and working conditions in supply chains. Together with the Rainforest Alliance, we support approaches that address these challenges through the requirements set out in the Rainforest Alliance Standard.
Across our five Focus Areas Nutrition, Minimizing Waste, Ingredient Sourcing, Climate Action and Inclusivity we're taking small steps that add up over time, working together to create moments you feel good about.
