We are celebrating a major win for cocoa farmers! The European Union has passed the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD), and we are thrilled that our community’s demand for fair purchasing practices and living income has been heard.
According to the new law, companies must now ensure a living income for farmers, addressing poverty and modern slavery in their supply chains. This means that small farmers, often hit hard by low prices, will now see increased stability and sustainability in their livelihoods.
This is a transformative step towards a fairer, more sustainable future for cocoa farmers and their communities.
Thank you to everyone who supported this cause. Your voices made a difference!
