Méthodologie du tableau d’évaluation de Pâques — 2020

The 2020 Easter Scorecard methodology assesses major cocoa traders and chocolate manufacturers across six sustainability categories: mandatory due diligence, transparency and traceability, deforestation and climate, agroforestry, living incomes, and child labor. Companies are graded with colored 'eggs' (green, yellow, or red) based on questionnaire responses, with a final score represented by an 'Easter bunny'. The framework emphasizes the necessity of mandatory regulation and traceability as foundations for other reforms, while highlighting the role of agroforestry in carbon sequestration and biodiversity.

• The assessment evaluates companies across six core sustainability categories: mandatory due diligence, transparency and traceability, deforestation and climate, agroforestry, living incomes, and child labor.
• The methodology considers transparency and traceability as the essential foundations for all other industry reforms, as companies cannot ensure the absence of child labor or deforestation without knowing the origin of their cocoa.
• Cocoa production is identified as a major global driver of forest loss, specifically in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire, where one-third of forest loss over the last 50 years is attributed to cocoa cultivation.
• Agroforestry is presented as an ecological alternative to pesticide-heavy monocultures, providing benefits for carbon sequestration, soil and air moisture retention, biodiversity, and farmer food security.
• The document highlights severe human rights issues in the sector, noting that 2.1 million children work in cocoa, with 96% performing tasks considered dangerous.
