Chocolate and child slavery.
Mars, Nestlé and Hershey to face child slavery lawsuit in US
Well, I guess there's a whole lot of chocolate I won't be stocking going forwards.
There's things I can conscience in business and things I can't. Things I can stomach and things I can't. Fairtrade used to be 'a thing'. My mother would run the Fairtrade stand at her local church every week. It had a kitemark. So, you know, folks got paid a living wage.
Soon all the chocolate companies were falling over themselves to slap that kitemark on their goods.
“Mars is honored once again to be named to Ethisphere Institute's 'World's Most Ethical Companies' list,” said Mars Vice President, General Counsel & Secretary, Stefanie Straub.
Cadbury's ditched Fairtrade in 2016. It's what famous philanthropist and choco-baron Quaker Bournville would have wanted, bleh bleh bleh supply chains are complex, said new owners Mondelez.
How can we condemn the past and yet turn a bling eye to the present? We can't.
