Alt Cocoa

Brands aim to reduce cocoa reliance amidst industry shortages and ethical concerns

Trend - Amid rising concerns about the ethical and environmental impacts of cocoa farming, many businesses are introducing products that minimize or replace the ingredient. These alternatives aim to combat deforestation, human rights abuses, and wildlife loss in hopes of reducing industry reliance.

Insight - Amidst the global cocoa shortage, confectionery businesses are looking for alternatives to help them deliver the same cocoa-infused creations without profiting from unethical business practices. In response, cocoa-free products are entering the market, appealing to businesses and consumers who wish to avoid contributing to the industry's existing issues. Businesses that cater to the demand for sustainable and honest sourcing practices can attract consumers who value ethical production systems.
Workshop Question - How can your brand ensure ethical compliance across all fronts?
