UTZ CERTIFIED Good Inside Code of Conduct - Checklist

For Cocoa
Version 1.0
Scope: group certification of smallholder farmers
This version of the checklist can be used for print-out and making calculations on paper. Another
version, to be filled in on the computer and to make automatic calculations, is also available.

Introduction
The UTZ CERTIFIED Good Inside Checklist is a tool for organizations to evaluate their performance on
compliance with the requirements of the UTZ CERTIFIED Good Inside Code of Conduct. To obtain
certification for UTZ CERTIFIED Code of Conduct, the organization has to comply with all control points
which are applicable to the activities of the organization.
The desired result of this self-evaluation is an overview of what actions need to be taken towards
compliance. On this Checklist you may fill in all actions that you need to undertake to comply with the Code
of Conduct Requirements, and when these actions need to be implemented. Please note that this evaluation
is not a test, merely a way to visualize what needs to be done to comply.
When ready for certification, you can apply for certification with a Certification Body that is approved by
UTZ CERTIFIED. A list of approved Certification Bodies can be found on the UTZ CERTIFIED website. UTZ
CERTIFIED advises you to send the results of your self-assessment to the Certification Body that will carry
out the inspection. This could make the inspection more efficient.
The Certification Body may also use this document or an adapted version to conduct the audit. More details
about the certification procedure can be found in the UTZ CERTIFIED Good Inside Certification Protocol[1].
UTZ CERTIFIED wishes you a successful certification process. For additional support please contact the UTZ
CERTIFIED office or the UTZ CERTIFIED/Solidaridad field representatives; the contact details can be found
at www.utzcertified.org under About the organization

against weather risk.
93

94

The producers maintain (or plant enough to eventually have) at least 18

mature shade trees per hectare dispersed on their farms.
If there are currently too few or unsuitable trees or if the trees are not
dispersed, (extra) trees are planted.
If producers plant new shade trees, they use diverse and native tree species
that will lead to multiple canopy levels. They follow the recommendations of a
research agency, which are communicated by the certificate holder.

The certificate holder has a program to distribute shade tree seeds or

seedlings.
3.C.2 Protected areas are respected.
95

96

97

98

Cocoa production does not take place in protected areas, including officially
proposed protected areas. Cocoa production does not take place in the
immediate vicinity (2km) of these areas if this is not allowed in the official
management plan for the area.
If producer farms are in the immediate vicinity (2km) of a protected area or
biological corridor, the certificate holder is in contact with the park authorities.
The objective is that the farming practices do not jeopardize the park and that
human-wildlife conflicts are managed appropriately.
If producer farms are in the immediate vicinity (2km) of a protected area, the
certificate holder monitors encroachment. Recent encroachment is reversed
through community awareness raising and/or reported to the authorities.

There is no degradation or deforestation of forest that has not been used for
agriculture in the past 20 years or more (i.e., that are older than 20 years),
after initiating the certification process. This does not refer to timber
plantations.
The certificate holder is informed which land in the production area is
classified as agricultural land and/or approved for agricultural use (if this is
formally determined). Producers do not plant new cocoa on land that is not
classified as agricultural land and/or approved for agricultural use.
The certifcate holder identifies all natural habitat in the production area
together with relevant stakeholders, such as national environmental
organizations or experts.
If a producer wants to clear land in - or, when in doubt, near - identified
natural habitat, he/she notifies the certificate holder beforehand to come to a
joint decision.
The certificate holder seeks advice from an environmental expert whether the
land clearing is acceptable and how negative effects can be minimized. The
joint decision is documented.
