Cocoa traceability

We live in a globalized world in terms of information and products, for this reason companies that process cocoa need to be sure that their raw material is obtained in a sustainable and responsible manner. We will achieve this by supporting them through our sustainable program, knowing and helping improve the practices carried out in the plantations and identifying the cocoa produced so that it is traceable from the farm to final customer.
