Resumo(s)
The proliferation of certifications by private companies, allegedly aimed at aiding
impoverished smallholder farmers advancing sustainability practices, underscores the
necessity for an unbiased criterion to compare them. Through the application of the theory of
change, enhanced by a coding system, the paper demonstrates that players within the cocoa
industry, driven by their distinct final goals, adopt different standards, leading to a range of
outputs and outcomes. The results shed light on how private companies prioritize their own
objectives over the SDGs. It is essential to align private certifications with the SDGs to
effectively tackle the challenges encountered by smallholder farmers.
