Côte d’Ivoire - Percentage of (total) cocoa that is exported under a zero deforestation commitment
Years available: 2020-2022
Data last updated: 15 Mar 2024
Zero-deforestation commitments (ZDCs) were obtained from Global Canopy's research determining whether an exporting company group has a commitment or goal for zero deforestation in its cocoa supply chain in the year of cocoa export. A commitment is accepted as zero deforestation if an exporter group explicitly uses the phrases 'zero deforestation', 'zero conversion' in its sustainability goals, current policies, or if they have a policy (or target) for 100% certification where the certification is equivalent to a zero-deforestation standard. \nCommitments are reported as 'company commitment' (if the specific company has a ZDC), 'none' (if the company does not have one), or 'unknown' (if the company's ZDC position was not checked).
