Our reporting
F
If we consider the entire cocoa volume, the
traceability performance was as follows:
• 99% traceable to origin.
• 96% traceable to farmer group level.
• 96% traceable to farm gate if minimum
GPS waypoint available.
• 89% traceable to farm gate if minimum
requirement polygon-mapped³.
If we consider only the cocoa beans
we received:
• 100% traceable to origin.
⚫ 99% traceable to farmer group level.
⚫ 98% traceable to farmgate if minimum
GPS waypoint available.
.
93% traceable to farmgate if minimum
requirement polygon-mapped.
About 82% of the entire cocoa volume in
2021/22 was from our dedicated farmer
groups.
• 6 origins.
.174 farmer groups.
.170,000 farmers in our programme,
of which 161,000 (95%) were polygon-
mapped.
⚫ From these 170,000 farmers, 153,000
supplied cocoa for Ferrero, and 147,000
of these (96%) were polygon-mapped.
Looking ahead
We will continue to grow and strengthen our
cocoa sustainability programme, to achieve a
positive and lasting impact on the cocoa value
chain. 2021/22 marked the final year of our CFI
Action Plan for the period 2018-22. We will
develop and publish a renewed plan with
targets for 2025. We will also take important
steps to support collective action within the
industry, working with key stakeholders from
governments and civil society.
Other key activities for the upcoming year
will include:
• Further roll-out of our Community
Development project with Save the
Children in the Haut-Sassandra region
in Ivory Coast.
• Launch renewed Ferrero CFI Action Plan
with targets for 2025
• Further increasing the number of farmers
who receive their premium digitally, to
further improve financial transparency.
7. Including farmer groups that are not part of Ferrero's
dedicated farmer groups.
8. Farmer groups that have on average a 10% annual
turnover of farmers. Each year newly joined farmers must
be mapped and we also re-map farmers, usually every 3
to 5 years, to ensure the data is still valid.
Case study
Building schools to
support children
From the beginning of Ferrero's cocoa
sustainability programme supporting the
protection and development of children in
cocoa-growing communities has been one
of our key priorities. This includes ensuring
that children have access to quality
education, for example by providing
financial support to construct and
renovate schools.
On 24 September 2012 we celebrated the
opening of the first school located in the
Ivorian community of Sinikosson (see also
page 109 of our 4th CSR Report). In 2021/22
we passed the milestone of 100 schools
(total 103). One of the 24 schools in 2021/22
is located in Blaisekro, a community of 107
people in the southwest of Ivory Coast. In
addition to the school, our local partner
Ecookim also established a school canteen
and latrines to ensure children have access
to good nutrition and hygiene.
