| Almost 180,000 of you have been calling for change from major chocolate companies, along with numerous civil society groups and associations. We want to see an end to child exploitation in chocolate production, including through the payment of a living wage for farmers and the scaling up of child labor monitoring and remediation systems. And the commitment and coordinated efforts of conscious consumers, activists and advocates like you are really paying off!This year’s scorecard shows real evidence of improvement in the chocolate sector. But there is plenty still to do! Many chocolate brands are still failing to do enough and to pay enough for cocoa to enable the communities in their supply chains to protect themselves from exploitation and environmental destruction. We know that informed consumers calling for change CAN and DO make a difference when it comes to company policies. That’s why we want this scorecard to spread the globe! Be part of the solution.
