SUSTAINABILITY AT GODIVA
OUR VISION
GODIVA is dedicated to our vision for a sustainable and thriving cocoa industry where farmers prosper, communities are empowered, human rights are respected, and the environment is conserved. We can achieve this through both a holistic understanding of our supply chain and undertaking a transformational approach from the farm level to your shopping basket. ‌The following is an overview of where we are on our sustainability journey.
Our Journey & Partners
As a company committed to producing premium chocolate, GODIVA understands that we have an important role in driving change across the entire cocoa industry. We are making progress by working with our partners to implement responsible practices that support our mission. In partnership with the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF) and the Cocoa & Forests Initiative (CFI), GODIVA published our Responsible Cocoa Commitment in 2020. This commitment included our 3 pillars: Environmental Protection & Regeneration | Human Rights & Responsiblity | Transparency & Collaboration.
