Our objectives<br />
By <strong>2015</strong> – S<strong>our</strong>ce 100 000 tonnes of cocoa through the<br />
<strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan <strong>and</strong> complete <strong>our</strong> school build<strong>in</strong>g<br />
programme to build 40 schools <strong>in</strong> f<strong>our</strong> years.<br />

By 2016 – S<strong>our</strong>ce 130 000 tonnes of cocoa through the<br />
Plan <strong>and</strong> complete the roll‐out of <strong>our</strong> Child Lab<strong>our</strong><br />
Monitor<strong>in</strong>g <strong>and</strong> Remediation System (CLMRS) to identify<br />
child lab<strong>our</strong> <strong>in</strong> all <strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan co‐operatives <strong>in</strong> Côte<br />
d’Ivoire * . (See Human rights <strong>and</strong> compliance for more<br />
<strong>in</strong>formation.)<br />
By 2017 – S<strong>our</strong>ce 150 000 tonnes of cocoa through the<br />
<strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan.<br />
By 2018 – S<strong>our</strong>ce 175 000 tonnes of cocoa through the<br />
<strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan.<br />

We have updated <strong>our</strong> s<strong>our</strong>c<strong>in</strong>g target for 2016.<br />
To ensure a susta<strong>in</strong>able supply of good-quality cocoa, we plan<br />
to cont<strong>in</strong>ue <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g the amount of cocoa purchased through<br />
the <strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan. In <strong>2015</strong>, we purchased 121 481 tonnes<br />
of cocoa – 30% of <strong>our</strong> total – through the plan, <strong>and</strong> will <strong>in</strong>crease<br />
this annual figure to 130 000 tonnes <strong>in</strong> 2016 (an <strong>in</strong>crease to <strong>our</strong><br />
orig<strong>in</strong>al goal of 120 000 tonnes) <strong>and</strong> to 175 000 tonnes <strong>in</strong> 2018.<br />
A high proportion of this cocoa was s<strong>our</strong>ced from farms<br />
<strong>and</strong> plantations that meet the UTZ certification Code of<br />
Conduct for Cocoa st<strong>and</strong>ard, one of the largest susta<strong>in</strong>ability<br />
programmes for coffee, cocoa <strong>and</strong> tea, <strong>and</strong> the Fairtrade<br />
certification st<strong>and</strong>ard.<br />
As well as <strong>in</strong>creas<strong>in</strong>g the volume of cocoa procured through<br />
the <strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan, we also aim to <strong>in</strong>crease the proportion<br />
of all <strong>our</strong> global cocoa supplies represented by it.<br />

KitKat cocoa becomes<br />
susta<strong>in</strong>ably s<strong>our</strong>ced<br />
KitKat has become the first global confectionery br<strong>and</strong> s<strong>our</strong>ced<br />
from 100% certified susta<strong>in</strong>able cocoa, supplied through the<br />
<strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan. The <strong>in</strong>itiative, which co<strong>in</strong>cided with KitKat’s<br />
80 th birthday, will take place from the first quarter of 2016.<br />
KitKat already used only susta<strong>in</strong>ably s<strong>our</strong>ced cocoa <strong>in</strong><br />
certa<strong>in</strong> markets, but will now extend this worldwide, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g<br />
to the United States.<br />
The achievement of 100% susta<strong>in</strong>able cocoa is <strong>in</strong> l<strong>in</strong>e with<br />
what the UTZ <strong>and</strong> Fairtrade schemes allow <strong>in</strong> manag<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
mass balance approach.<br />
Tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g farmers<br />
We tra<strong>in</strong>ed 66 320 cocoa farmers <strong>in</strong> better agricultural<br />
practices <strong>in</strong> <strong>2015</strong>. A variety of methods, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g farmer field<br />
schools <strong>and</strong> farmer bus<strong>in</strong>ess tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, were used to help<br />
improve farm profitability. Subjects <strong>in</strong>cluded good agricultural<br />
practices, such as prun<strong>in</strong>g, which enc<strong>our</strong>ages greater fruit<br />
growth <strong>and</strong> helps control plant disease.<br />

Cocoa Plan takes root <strong>in</strong><br />
Ecuador<br />
Ecuador exports about 65% of the f<strong>in</strong>e cocoa produced<br />
worldwide. However, its unique floral cocoa is under threat, due<br />
to farm<strong>in</strong>g practices that are substitut<strong>in</strong>g local trees with other<br />
varieties that have better yields. The majority of the floral variety,<br />
known as nacional, are controlled by smallholders, who have<br />
reacted to decreased crop yields by plant<strong>in</strong>g the new breeds.<br />
As part of the <strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan, <strong>our</strong> objective is to ensure<br />
the long-term, responsible supply of cocoa beans from<br />
Ecuador to <strong>Nestlé</strong>, while improv<strong>in</strong>g social <strong>and</strong> environmental<br />
conditions for farmers, their families <strong>and</strong> communities.<br />
Through the plan, we improve farmers’ technical skills, us<strong>in</strong>g<br />
workshops, classroom <strong>and</strong> field tra<strong>in</strong><strong>in</strong>g, <strong>and</strong> certification<br />
programmes. We also enc<strong>our</strong>age the plant<strong>in</strong>g of nacional <strong>and</strong><br />
other cocoa trees to reforest <strong>and</strong> improve biodiversity, <strong>and</strong><br />
have distributed approximately 700 000 nacional plants to<br />
farms s<strong>in</strong>ce 2009.<br />
The <strong>Nestlé</strong> Cocoa Plan has had a direct impact on farmers.<br />
In 2014, 2930 farmers <strong>and</strong> their families benefited. By the end<br />
of the year, 699 farms were UTZ certified for social <strong>and</strong><br />
responsible farm<strong>in</strong>g.<br />
