Friend, Wondering if any chocolate companies have made progress in the last year? Well, our allies recently surveyed and ranked the cocoa policies of over 30 companies around world. They looked at key sustainability issues facing the chocolate industry, like child labor, deforestation, hazardous chemicals, and if farmers are being paid a living income. It's no surprise which companies were at the top of the pack: Beyond Good, Tony's Chocolonely, and Alter Eco. Despite some progress by big chocolate companies, they still don't compare to the excellent work of small, green businesses putting people and the planet first. |
