ICI has developed visual and written contract templates and witness checklists that can be used in the context of cocoa farming.

This tool, developed by ICI, was designed to assess the knowledge and attitudes of cocoa producers and their workers on labour rights as well as their reported labour practices.

ICI has produced multiple training materials to help practitioners and actors raise awareness of forced labour in an effective and professional manner.

An estimated 50 million people were living in modern slavery on any given day in 2021, an increase of 10 million people since 2016. Walk Free’s flagship report, the Global Slavery Index (GSI) provides national estimates of modern slavery for 160 countries. The estimates draw on thousands of interviews with survivors collected through nationally representative household surveys across 75 countries and an assessment of national-level vulnerability.

This brochure introduces the Business Handbook on Due Diligence in the Cocoa Sector: Addressing Child Labour and Forced Labour, developed by the OECD Centre for Responsible Business Conduct and the International Cocoa Initiative. It provides an overview of child labour and forced labour in the cocoa sector and outlines the steps of the OECD due diligence framework. It is a relevant resource for individuals looking to decide if the Business Handbook is the resource for them, or looking to promote the Business Handbook.
