CARE and Cadbury

CARE’s foremost partnership is with the poor; working to improve their access to assets, skills, capital, services and markets.

At the other end of the supply chain we recognise that big business has an impact on and responsibility towards the poor.

It is important that companied act responsibly as they can promote and protect – or abuse – the rights of their workforce, the communities and environment in which they work and the public they serve.

The Cadbury’s Cocoa Partnership is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to secure the economic, social and environmental future of a million cocoa farmers and their communities in Ghana, India, Indonesia and the Caribbean.

CARE has been working with cocoa farmers for a long time and welcomes the opportunity to work with companies, governments, and labour organisations across the cocoa supply chain.

We hope the Cadbury’s Cocoa Partnership will have a lasting impact on the lives and livelihoods of communities in Ghana.
