The Coordination Office

The Coordination Office is responsible for managing activities, monitoring progress, reporting, communications, and engaging with members and partners, among other tasks. The Coffee Platform shares its office with the Swiss Platform for Sustainable Cocoa (SWISSCO). Numerous synergies arise from close collaboration with SWISSCO staff, so one can speak of a joint SSCP-SWISSCO Coordination Office.
