Led by ICI's Co-Presidents, members of the Board provide crucial governance, oversight and strategic advice to our operations. Our Board Advisors, the International Labor Organization (ILO),the United Nations Office of the High Commissioner on Human Rights (OHCHR), and UNICEF provide crucial guidance and expertise to our work.
Our Executive Committee
The Executive Committee is comprised of ICI’s Co-Presidents, one industry board member, one civil society board member, and ICI’s treasurer. The Committee is responsible for enacting decisions made by ICI’s Board in support of the organisation’s objectives.
Our Members
ICI’s membership comprises both industry players (farming cooperatives, cocoa traders, cocoa processors, and cocoa and chocolate manufacturers) and non-industry organisations (Civil Society Organisations, certification bodies, farmer representations). They support ICI’s core activities and the achievement of the strategy. To find out more about ICI’s members please see here.
