Four years ago we realised that while there are brilliant brands working towards a child labour-free chocolate industry, they weren't using cocoa that was truly certified as child labour-free.

In inviting slavefreetrade to hold us to account, biannually, we uncover how each and every individual are treated, knowhow they're paid, & can be sure it's fair and honest. Using a survey based on slavefreetrade's Ten Principles for Decent Work we invite every single person in our supply chain to assess their working conditions against international human rights law. When the industry talks about traceability they mean the raw commodity. We mean the people. 200 on the single-estate plantation, 2000 in the processing site, 20 in our factory. This is a world's first human first chocolate. SLAVE FREE TRADE: THE 10 PRINCIPLES OF DECENT WORK.
