24 Feb 2020 --- The Rainforest Alliance is bolstering its Cocoa Certification Program, the world’s largest scale initiative to drive move sustainable cocoa farming. The organization sees transparency and shared responsibility as “essential to building a sustainable sector’ and these new measures mark the first stage of the Alliance’s enhanced certification program for all sectors that will be published in June and rolled out in the subsequent 12 months. The upgrades reflect Rainforest Alliance’s continued commitment toward addressing core challenges in the cocoa sector: farmer livelihoods, child labor and deforestation.
