We will also be talking about how organizations like the WCF – and their members and initiatives like the ICI – have failed to live up to voluntary commitments under the Harkin-Engel Protocol, what potential outcomes of the litigation might be as well as preferential outcomes, and if by focusing on cocoa farms we are overlooking the root causes of the problem.

Prior to his untimely passing, Robin and I were working on a project back in 2011/13 – we called it CocoaAssure™ – to address some of the issues raised. This is where my interest in supply chain transparency was first awakened.
