Certification is becoming a ‘license to operate’ (permission to do business) when exporting cocoa to Europe. Consumers are demanding more sustainable products and companies are increasingly demanding more sustainable cocoa. New laws and regulations in Europe are further increasing the demand for certification. Certification is the most widely used tool to put ambitions and commitments about sustainability into action. This makes Europe the most important market for certified cocoa in the world.
