In the past month there have been some changes at CEO roles that will have an effect on the implementation of ESG and other policies in the coming years. ➡️ **Errata/Correction** During the live stream I kept referring to Peter Boone in his dual role as CEO (now ex-) of Barry Callebaut *and* as President of the World Cocoa Foundation (WCF). I misspoke. Boone was – and still is, as of 4/27/23 – the *Chairman* of the WCF. However the WCF website also still lists him as the CEO of Barry Callebaut. So I am not the only one who’s not 100% up to speed. Not all of the news will be serious, though, because if you’re working with chocolate and you’re not having fun ... you’re doing it wrong. --- [A Higher Bar for Artisan Chocolate - IFT.orgSingle-origin cacao beans, innovative inclusions, and more sophisticated connoisseurship characterize today’s craft chocolate market.![](https://www.ift.org/-/media/ift/logos/favicon.ico)IFT Logo\[email protected\]![](https://www.ift.org/-/media/ift/logos/iftlogosmall.svg?h=24&w=33&la=en&hash=C614422C6A25FA9E5B670D2DD4C31064)](https://www.ift.org/news-and-publications/digital-exclusives/a-higher-bar-for-artisan-chocolate?ref=thechocolatelife.com) [Peter Boone resigns as Barry Callebaut CEOThe Board of Directors has appointed Peter Feld (57, German national) as the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of the Barry Callebaut Group, with immediate effect.
