Monitoring of Results
Our work
The German Initiative on Sustainable Cocoa (GISCO) has been monitoring the contribution of its members to the achievement of the GISCO's goals since 2021. This is measured on the basis of agreed indicators. Since 2022, participation in the monitoring is mandatory for all GISCO members.

Background
In 2020, the national sustainable cocoa platforms in Europe (GISCO in Germany, Beyond Chocolate in Belgium, DISCO in the Netherlands and SWISSCO in Switzerland) agreed on a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to enable increased cooperation. In 2022, the French sustainable cocoa initiative FRISCO also joined. One of the cornerstones of the MoU is the harmonisation of monitoring systems. A set of common indicators and a common online monitoring tool have been developed, in particular to facilitate reporting by members who are part of multiple platforms.
