Mondelez International, the world's largest chocolate company, today shared new plans to achieve third-party verification for its $400-million Cocoa Life program by partnering with Harvard University.
"Programs like Cocoa Life need to demonstrate how they deliver value to farming communities through a holistic approach focused on impacts, rather than compliance with specific farming practices,” says Michael J. Hiscox, professor of international affairs at Harvard University, who leads the research team.
