Unlock the Hidden Power of Your Supply Chain.

Women play critical roles throughout the coffee and cocoa process, however men most often capture the resulting income.
Too many businesses overlook the women who power their supply chains. 43% of the global agricultural workforce are women – yet most can’t access the training or tools they need. When equity is missing, sustainability falls short.
The lack of training, leadership opportunities, and representation silences women’s voices, leaving their needs unmet and their production constraints unaddressed. Many face Gender-Based Violence (GBV) and other human rights abuses.
While companies increasingly acknowledge women’s roles, most initiatives fail to address structural inequalities. Sustainability requires recognizing women’s importance to both farm and family resiliency and productivity.
