Kilchberg, February 25, 2026 – Lindt & Sprüngli, Mars Incorporated, Mondelēz International, Nestlé, and The Hershey Company are incorporating the TogetherCocoa foundation in Geneva, Switzerland.
The foundation builds on the existing efforts of the five companies to help close the living income gap for cocoa farming households in Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana and will drive industry-wide collaborative action to help strengthen the resilience of the cocoa supply chain.
As it is ramping up operations and developing the initiative, the foundation will engage closely with the Governments of Côte d’Ivoire and Ghana, actors in the cocoa supply chain, and the wider cocoa sector.
The foundation is in its early stages, and more details will be shared as the initiative progresses.
Next to investing in the livelihoods of cocoa farming families through the foundation, we remain fully committed to working towards our Lindt & Sprüngli Farming Program objectives.
