The 2020 data as shown in this table has been restated from previous results for consistency with the updated methodology. 2 For additional cocoa KPIs, see page 31. 3 Data for 2021 will be published in 2023. 4 The 2021 verified deforestation-free palm supply chain results are based on mill lists from mid-year 2020 to mid-year 2021. Volumes were verified as deforestation-free through Airbus and Earthworm Foundation’s Starling satellite. 5 Data is not available for 2020 as 2021 is Hershey’s first year of tracking and reporting this result. 6 In 2021, Hershey sourced a small quantity of conventional, noncertified coconut due to a severe coconut shortage related to issues with raw material sourcing and transportation complications caused by the ongoing pandemic. 7 To match the scope of 2021 reporting, the 2020 globally sourced egg value has been restated and includes only international egg sourcing. It does not include eggs sourced from the U.S. or Canada, which is reflected in the KPI above.
