Friend, Today is World Fair Trade Day, and it is a great opportunity to support companies making chocolate fairly. After decades of empty promises from the largest chocolate companies, there are still over 1 million child laborers growing the cocoa that goes into the chocolate you see on store shelves. Child laborers in cocoa are exposed to harmful pesticides, carry heavy loads, work long hours, and handle dangerous tools, like machetes. But, these A-rated chocolate companies are working to end the chocolate industry’s reliance on child labor. They are reforming the industry and demonstrating that chocolate can be made fairly and more equitably. Many of the companies on this list are fair trade certified, pay cocoa farmers more for their cocoa beans, and provide a premium to cocoa-growing communities to help ensure that kids are not involved in hazardous work and able to go to school. We cannot let big chocolate companies continue to put profits over the health of children. By purchasing chocolate from these A-rated companies, you demonstrate that there is a demand for ethical (and green!) chocolate. Thank you for all that you do, |
