For more than a decade, Earthworm Foundation has partnered with companies across the cocoa sector to turn sustainability commitments into practical action on the ground. Since 2013, 15 initiatives across 11 countries in Africa, Latin America and the Pacific have supported farmers, strengthened supply resilience and addressed environmental and social risks across cocoa landscapes.
Building on this experience, Earthworm Foundation is bringing together strategic cocoa partners for a one-day, in-person workshop focused on the future of sustainable cocoa production. The session is designed as an interactive space for collective problem-solving. Participants will explore how to revitalise production in key origins such as Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, manage deforestation risks as cocoa expands into new regions, strengthen farmer resilience in a changing climate and move from supply-chain thinking toward landscape-level solutions. The goal is to shift the conversation from diagnosing problems to designing practical, collaborative solutions that can work at scale.

As companies move into the post-2025 phase of deforestation- and conversion-free commitments, questions are shifting from targets to delivery.
Have we been treating nature like a free factory?
A Sustainable Business podcast by Innovation Forum
Earthworm Foundation CEO Bastien Sachet reflects with Ian Welsh on why environmental and supply chain shocks are caused by long-term neglect rather than short-term disruption. Bastien argues that businesses have treated nature as a free factory, optimising costs while failing to reinvest in soils, forests and farming communities. They explore why regenerative, place-based approaches and long-term partnerships are becoming essential to secure future supply, manage risk and maintain competitiveness.
