Entry: Marisa Yoneyama, World Cocoa Foundation

The World Cocoa Foundation attended the World Economic Forum (WEF) with business leaders to discuss Sustainable Consumption in New York this week. This meeting was one part of an initiative by WEF to engage industry and governments in incorporating sustainability models into their policy and business models. WEF works through a process of expanding public-private partnerships to address sustainable global commerce and industry and they work closely with the UN High-level panel on Sustainability. WCF was proud to participate in the New York working sessions to understand how they relate to the cocoa industry and to contribute its perspective on sustainability in agriculture.
