Mondelēz joins with governments to stop deforestation in Africa
Mondelēz International will begin working with governments in West Africa to minimise deforestation in its supply chain.
The owner of Cadbury and Oreo has signed a memorandum of understanding with Côte d’Ivoire’s Ministry of Environment through its Cocoa Life sustainability programme.
It has also signed a letter of intent with the Forestry Commission of Ghana and the UN Development Programme to reduce the effects of deforestation in the country.
The commitments form part of Mondelēz’s effort to completely eradicate deforestation and forest degradation from the cocoa supply chain.
