This is the link from the video. It’s important that we try to take action. Don’t buy chocolate that may be connected with slavery. In the link there’s also information about slavery free chocolate.
International Rights Advocates End child labor in the cobalt and cocoa industries. International Rights AdvocatesOn chocolate, coffee, tea, other products coming from the global south: if you can afford it, buy only products with some kind of a certificate that demonstrates the product has been ethically produced (and this has been verified by an outside agency), such as the Fairtrade, UTZ or Rainforest Alliance certificate.
But also beware that some producers have made up their own certificates, with no outside oversight. These essentially fake certificates include Cocoa Life, the certificate invented by Mondelez – one of the companies listed behind the link for using slave labour, who stopped using Rainforest Alliance certified cocoa and switched to their own certificate instead.
here’s a list of companies who use fair trade chocolate:
- Clif Bar
- Tony’s Chocoloneley
- Ben & Jerry’s
- Aloha Feels
- Newman’s Own Organics
- The Endangered Species Chocolate
- Dagoba Organic Chocolate
- Starbucks
- Aldi’s brand
- Green & Blacks
- Sappho Chocolates
- Larabar
