The Injustice Advent Calendar Day 4
24 days to change the world
Day 4
Do you want an ethical chocolate industry?
Whether we’re celebrating or commiserating, chocolate is a sweet and familiar companion for many of us. But when we take the time to learn about cocoa’s global value chain, the social and environmental costs it currently entails leave a bitter taste in our mouths.
Many children working in cocoa carry out hazardous tasks, such as clearing forests with sharp machetes, carrying heavy sacks of cocoa and handling dangerous pesticides. There have also been some incidences of children being trafficked from neighboring countries and forced to work in cocoa farms against their will.
So, what can we do about it?
As consumers, we know we have the power to drive sweeping industry change by holding major chocolate brands accountable for their impact on people and the planet.
We’re building a movement of informed chocolate consumers demanding change. Join us by learning which brands are improving their policies and which brands are falling short.
