NOTE ISO/TS 34101-5 is not yet registered in the ISO database.
The overriding objective of this document is to develop, promote and maintain a framework for the
production of sustainable cocoa beans based on the principle of continuous improvement.
In order to achieve this objective, this document has been elaborated to be relevant to stakeholders
within the cocoa sector, in particular with a view to:
a) support and encourage smallholder cocoa farmers;
b) improve income and resilience of their livelihoods; and
c) promote farmer organizations where necessary.
Although a diverse range of organizations can apply this document and ISO 34101-2 to their activities, it
is important that farmer organizations be recognised as a key delivery mechanism for a sustainable
cocoa economy and that such organizations be robust and truly representative of the registered cocoa
farmers they serve. It is expected that stakeholders work together to help them achieve this.

0.2 General
The adoption of a sustainability management system is often a strategic decision for an organization.
The potential benefits to an organization of implementing a cocoa sustainability management system
are:
establishment and implementation of management practices which allow the cost effectiveness of
the business to be assessed through operational performance indicators;
ability to consistently provide sustainably produced cocoa beans that meet specified requirements
and applicable statutory and regulatory requirements;
addressing risks and opportunities associated with its context and objectives;
ability to demonstrate conformity to specified cocoa sustainability management system
requirements;
organizational learning, adjustment of the organizations strategy and improvement of its
performance.
In the event that the registered farmers wish to take over management of the cocoa sustainability
management system from the organization (one or more registered farmers to become their own
organization in the context of this document), it is important that registered farmers are encouraged to
do so, with the support of the organization.
In addition to this document elements that are integral to sustainability can be considered through
other activities or programs including:
a) encouraging stakeholders to take responsibility for supporting sustainability objectives for cocoa
farming;
b) households issues;
c) development of a physical and social infrastructure.
It is not the intent of this document to impose:
uniformity in the structure of different sustainability management systems;
alignment of documentation to the clause structure of any part of ISO 34101;
the use of the specific terminology of the ISO 34101 series within the organization.
The performance requirements specified ISO 34101-2 are complementary to the cocoa sustainability
management system developed and implemented according to this document.
This document employs the process approach, which incorporates the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle
and risk-based thinking.
The process approach enables an organization to plan its processes and their interactions.
The Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle enables an organization to ensure that its processes are
adequately resourced and managed, and that opportunities for improvements are identified and acted
on.

Risk-based thinking enables an organization to determine the factors that could cause its processes and
its sustainability management system to deviate from the planned results, to put in place
preventive controls to minimise negative effects and make maximum use of opportunities as they arise.
Consistently meeting requirements and addressing future needs and expectations poses a challenge for
organizations in an increasingly dynamic and complex environment. To achieve this objective,
the organization might find it necessary to adopt various forms of improvement in addition to
correction, corrective action and continual improvement, innovation and re-organization.
In this document:
“shall” indicates a requirement;
“should” indicates a recommendation;
“may” indicates a permission;
“can” indicates a possibility or a capability.
Information marked “NOTE” is for guidance in understanding or clarifying the associated requirement.
0.3 Sustainability management principles
This document is based on sustainability management principles, which are:
sustainability focus;
leadership;
engagement of people;
process approach;
improvement;
knowledge-based decision making;
relationship management.
Applying the principles is expected to enhance the objectives of obtaining a resilient livelihood for
people producing sustainable cocoa beans.
This document establishes a framework, which meets the needs of producers and requirements of
consumers/other stakeholders for sustainability of cocoa bean production and traceability of the cocoa
supply chain.
0.4 Process approach
0.4.1 General
This document promotes the adoption of a process approach when developing, implementing and
improving the effectiveness of a cocoa sustainability management system, to enhance interested parties
satisfaction by meeting cocoa sustainability requirements.

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
oSIST prEN ISO 34101-1:2016
ISO/DIS 34101-1:2016
Understanding and managing interrelated processes as a system contributes to the organization's
effectiveness and efficiency in achieving its intended results. This approach enables the organization to
monitor and control the interrelationships and interdependencies among the processes of the system
so that the overall performance of the organization can be enhanced.
The process approach involves the systematic definition and management of processes and their
interactions so as to achieve the intended results in accordance with the cocoa sustainability policy and
strategic direction of the organization. Management of the processes and the system as a whole can be
achieved using the PDCA cycle (see 0.4.2) with an overall focus on risk-based thinking (see 0.4.3) aimed
at taking advantage of opportunities and preventing undesirable results.
The application of the process approach in a cocoa sustainability management system enables:
1) understanding and consistency in meeting requirements;
2) the consideration of processes in terms of added value;
3) the achievement of effective process performance;
4) improvement of processes based on evaluation of data and information.
0.4.2 Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle
The PDCA cycle can be applied to all processes and to the cocoa sustainability management system as a
whole. Figure 1 illustrates how Clauses 4 to 10 of this document can be grouped in relation to the PDCA
cycle.
The PDCA cycle can be briefly described as follows:
Plan: establish the objectives of the system and its processes, and the resources needed to
deliver results in accordance with customers’ requirements and the organization’s policies;
Do: implement what was planned;
Check: monitor and (where applicable) measure processes and the resulting products and
services against policies, objectives and requirements and report the results;
Act: take actions to improve performance, as necessary.

Figure 1 – A representation of the structure of this document in the PDCA cycle
0.4.3 Risk-based thinking
Risk-based thinking is essential for achieving an effective cocoa sustainability management system.
To conform to the requirements of this document, an organization needs to plan and implement actions
to address opportunities and risks. Addressing both opportunities and risks establishes a basis for
increasing the effectiveness of the cocoa sustainability management system, achieving improved results
and preventing negative effects.
Opportunities can arise as a result of a situation favourable to achieving an intended result, for example,
an option to attract customers, develop new products and services, reduce waste or improve
productivity. Risk is the effect of uncertainty on obtaining objectives and any such uncertainty can have
positive or negative effects. Actions to address opportunities will lead to associated risks.
