Cocoa

The Cocoa desk operates with a strong sustainability footprint, building integrated & responsible supply chains across key producing regions, connecting farmers directly to global chocolate manufacturers with full transparency and traceability.

We partner closely with communities to strengthen farmer livelihoods through targeted training, fair market access, and innovative programs —including Cocoa Juice, Biochar, Cookstoves, Village Savings and Loan Associations (VSLAs), Women Empowerment, EnRoute, and Cocoaching, our individualised farmer coaching method. These initiatives focus on eradicating child labor, community empowerment, and advancing sustainable development.

Our commitment extends to climate action: measuring and reducing carbon footprints via efficient logistics, climate-smart agriculture, anti-deforestation efforts, and regenerative practices that protect ecosystems and secure long-term cocoa availability.

This unwavering focus on responsible trading has established ETG as one of the world's top seven cocoa supply chain players and a recognized global leader in sustainability.

As a signatory of the Cocoa and Forests Initiative (CFI), we are committed to protecting and restoring forests, engaging communities, and supporting sustainable production and farmer livelihoods. Our foundation Beyond Beans has done ground-breaking work in the field of cocoa sustainability and increasing farmer income.
