How we’re tackling child labour
Child labour monitoring and remediation is set to be rolled out across our operations in Cameroon, in the first programme of its kind by a cocoa company.
Going to school during the summer holidays wouldn’t be most children’s idea of fun, but for 13 year-old Nurcan Sekiz, it means a safe space to play and not work.
Child labour in cocoa producing countries often stems from some really complex societal and economic challenges.
We encourage conversation and aim to build connections with those that share our passion for sustainability.
