100% Slavery-Free Chocolate: Is an Ethical Chocolate Industry Possible?

Описание: Sweet, luxurious, delectable, and delicious: around the world, chocolate is a consumer favorite. It tops our ice cream, fills our bellies on Halloween, and makes a s’more a s’more. Chocolate is ingrained in our everyday lives, but most consumers aren’t aware of the exploitation involved in going from cocoa bean to bar.

Much like the coffee, banana, and avocado industries, the cacao tree grows predominantly in the Global South.

Although companies like Hershey and Nestlé are worth billions of dollars, most cocoa farmers are barely surviving on salaries of $200 per year.

This exploitative value chain has become the norm for many chocolate companies, but we’d like to introduce you to a notable exception - pushing for a slavery free chocolate industry.

Tony’s Chocolonely provides a glimmer of hope for workers up and down the chocolate supply chain. Tony’s exists purely to set a higher bar for chocolate cultivation, and they demand the bare minimum: high-quality chocolate that isn’t produced by modern slavery or child labor.
