Why This Webinar Matters

Traceability is no longer a “nice-to-have.” With the current uncertainty around the EU Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), supply chain transparency has become essential. This webinar brings together industry leaders, innovators, and policymakers to explore how traceability can move beyond compliance to become a driver of sustainability, value creation, and trust in the cocoa industry.

Join Cordillera Chocolate and CocoaRadar to discover how origin-based systems in Colombia are revolutionising cocoa supply chains and what this means for the global chocolate industry.

What You’ll Gain

✅ A clear understanding of traceability requirements under EUDR and other frameworks.

✅ Firsthand insights into Cordillera Chocolate’s transparent, origin-focused approach.

✅ Actionable strategies to turn traceability from a compliance burden into a market advantage.

✅ A roadmap for harmonizing systems, including real-world stories from farmers and brands.
