European Collaboration

The National Initiatives for Sustainable Cocoa in Europe (ISCOs) are joining forces to jointly advance the transition towards a more sustainable global cocoa value chain. Under the renewed 2026 Memorandum of Understanding "ISCO 2.0", Beyond Chocolate (Belgium), the Dutch Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (DISCO), the French Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (FRISCO), the Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa (SWISSCO), and the German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO) will work even more closely together until 2030.

The partnership promotes the exchange of knowledge and experience, strengthens joint monitoring and accountability, supports sustainable sourcing practices, and fosters collaboration with key actors across the cocoa value chain. At the same time, the national initiatives remain independent in their work and strategic direction.

On this page, you will find information about the cooperation between the European cocoa initiatives as well as the key documents relating to ISCO 2.0.
