Cocoa Compass wins FiE Sustainability Innovation Award
ofi has been awarded the Sustainability Innovation Award at Food ingredients Europe for the impact driven through our Cocoa Compass sustainability strategy and Impact Report (2023).
Cocoa Compass tracks our progress in sustainable cocoa production using approaches like Natural Capital Accounting and our Farmer Income Tool. It also draws on two decades of experience, working with our customers, and supporting cocoa farmers to build resilience.
How did we get here?
Behind this recognition is a story of collaboration and commitment:
In 2004, we began our first cocoa sustainability initiative and our ambitions have grown each year.
Cocoa Compass was launched in 2019, setting ambitious goals to address key supply chain challenges by 2030.
At Fi Europe’s Sustainability Innovation Award, just 10% of entries reach the finalist stages. The judging ended with an in-person presentation to a panel of eleven independent industry experts.
Why this matters
Sustainability is complex, and progress takes time. This award acknowledges our advancement—but there’s still more to do. For our customers, it means:
Unlocked visibility: Cocoa Compass provides insight into key areas like farmer livelihood and climate action, education, and protecting landscapes.
Shared commitment: Purposeful collaboration with customers and partners brings long-term, positive change to cocoa farmers and their communities.
Continuous progress: We are constantly innovating and developing new tools to gather even better data, improve traceability and deliver more efficient and impactful sustainability programs.
