The Organization

CHOCOA, founded in 2012 by The Company Behind Chocoa and the Chocolate Festival Foundation, focuses on sustainable cocoa as the foundation for better chocolate. The event promotes awareness and collaboration to ensure cocoa production benefits farmers, communities, and the environment, while ensuring high-quality chocolate remains available to environmentally conscious consumers. In 2024, the first Amsterdam Cocoa Week took place, bringing together 2,750 professionals and 5,000 consumers. These meetings emphasize the power of collaboration and the pursuit of a more sustainable cocoa industry. More information: www.chocoa.nl.
