progress
accessible.
Progress is the progressive evolution of a society towards an ideal. Its goal is to improve the human condition, to make it better, to achieve happiness. For this, society must transform itself economically but also socially.
We are a consortium of experts, a network of companies and consultants located around the world.
We benefit from the creative spirit and innovation of several hundred experts and consultants from more than 70 countries. This allows us to explore problems from several angles and find innovative solutions, nourished by the cultural diversity that defines us.
Integrity - Being honest with ourselves, our people, our customers and our community; Empathy - Respecting and valuing oneself and others by promoting equality, diversity and inclusion; Excellence - To offer the best of us to our employees, our customers and our community.
gylsco, our solution for sustainable cocoa
At Anderson & Scholars , we believe that true sustainable change comes from empowering a new generation of leaders. The Global Youth Leadership for Sustainable Cocoa (GYLSCO) embodies this vision: a program designed to equip young cocoa entrepreneurs with the tools, knowledge, and networks needed to build a prosperous and sustainable future.
Today, it is no longer simply about training farmers, but about shaping enlightened entrepreneurs, aware of the strategic role they play in the social, economic and environmental transformation of their communities.
Through an approach based on the knowledge economy, we help them maximize their resources, innovate and create a more equitable and sustainable value chain.
GYLSCO is not just another program. It’s a movement. A push toward a new era where young people are the architects of change. By combining rigorous academic research, cutting-edge digital innovation, and hands-on immersion, we offer participants a unique opportunity to address the most pressing challenges of our time: sustainability, economic inclusion, and social justice.
This ambitious project is possible thanks to the exceptional synergy between our committed partners, international experts, renowned researchers and field leaders. Together, we are building an ecosystem where education is not limited to the transmission of knowledge, but becomes a powerful lever for transformation.
We warmly thank all the organisations and individuals who support this initiative, who believe in this vision and who mobilize with us to make GYLSCO a reality. Your commitment is proof that the future of the cocoa sector can be reinvented, driven by inspired youth ready to act.
We look forward to seeing the extraordinary impact we can create together.
