Not all roads lead to Rome: Inclusive business models and responsible finance in pursuit of sustainable cocoa in Ghana

In response to grand challenges in global cocoa production (e.g. poverty, low productivity, deforestation), major chocolate companies have committed to a sustainable cocoa sector by 2020. Their efforts are supported by governments, NGOs and responsible investors. Focusing on Ghana, our study aims to identify synergies and trade-offs between different approaches to sustainability, the potential for inclusive business models, and possible blind spots toward sustainability.
