UTZ Certified Cocoa

In one of the Mayan languages the word “UTZ” means “good”.
UTZ Certified is a program and a quality seal for the sustainable cultivation of coffee, cocoa and tea. Sustainable agriculture supports farmers, workers and their families in reaching their objectives and at the same time contributes to the protection of our natural resources – now and in the future.

For the cultivation of sustainable, certified cocoa, the cocoa farmers are trained by UTZ Certified in the areas of business administration, social working conditions and environmental management. This then helps them to work more successfully, attain higher yields, and increase the standard of living for the whole family.

Increased sustainability in the cocoa industry is very important to Bahlsen.
For years, Bahlsen has made regular visits to cocoa-growing areas in West Africa. This has allowed us to establish relations with cooperatives, and to find out more about the farmers’ situation and their problems over time. We intend to continue to intensify this exchange. In 2011, our respective activities led to cooperation with a cooperative on the Ivory Coast. The members of this cooperative enjoy direct financial support from Bahlsen. In this way, we have been able to contribute to the financing of two lorries to make it possible to transport the cocoa from the plantations to a central collection point. In addition, we help local farmers to obtain UTZ-accreditation by way of start-up loans. We are also committed founding members of the “Sustainable Cocoa Forum”.
