CREATIVITY AND RESPONSIBILITY
In a world with a population growing towards 10 billion, where the challenges of feeding everyone get bigger every day and where the effects of climate change are increasingly evident, it is our duty and responsibility to utilize earth’s scarce resources fully.
We strongly believe that something potentially beautiful should not be wasted. At JS COCOA we use our creativity and take our responsibility by creating the beautiful from every cocoa misfit.
Business Ethics Policy
WE CREATE THE BEAUTIFUL, FROM EVERY COCOA MISFIT
Cocoa is all about high quality! Not all of a year’s harvest is accepted by the highly selective cocoa industry. What happens with all the ‘great beans’ not making the cut? JS COCOA developed a smart, sustainable and socially relevant solution with the goal to leave no bean behind.
In Ghana JS COCOA set out to develop a sophisticated and fine-mazed network of farmers and transporters, to collect and trade these specific extraordinary beans to be used in our production process. That’s how the beautiful RESIGHA saw daylight back in 1984 in the heart of Ashanti region, a wholeblood daughter of JS COCOA. Every harvest season RESIGHA agents meet with cocoa farmers to discuss, to trade, and to collect the remaining stocks. A valuable way of trade for farmers, bringing them additional income facilitated by JS COCOA and RESIGHA. But also inspiring encounters to catch up on the newest technology and economic developments, to deepen social bonds, and strengthen community cooperation.
Testimonials from our partners
We place great value on collaboration. With our network in Ghana, but certainly also with the buyers and users of our cocoa ingredients. Without partners we are nowhere. We have known this for 100 years.
We, IMCD as a distributor, count on our producer’s service regarding quality, flexibility and fair pricing. This we find 100% at JS COCOA!

Partnering with JS COCOA through the Abinkyi Project brought great opportunities to showcase our impact on developing cooperatives as a sustainable business. JS COCOA is very relevant for the cocoa industry in Ghana, giving farmers the opportunity to make income from something that would otherwise be waste.

Wij zijn ‘groos’ (trots) op de Zaanse cacao- en chocolade historie. De Euforij werkt zoveel mogelijk samen met Zaanse leveranciers. Zo blijft kennis en ervaring in de regio geborgd. Wij hebben een prettige samenwerking met JS COCOA. Niet alleen de producten, ook het warme en professionele contact met deze wereldspeler hebben ons positief verrast.
