Indulge Responsibly

The sweet, but sometimes bitter truth about Easter Chocolate. Australians will spend billions of dollars on chocolate. Cocoa is a key ingredient of chocolate. Much of the chocolate sold in Australia is made using cocoa beans picked by children, many of whom have been enslaved, or forced to work in exploitative conditions. The International Labor Rights Forum (ILRF) estimates that there are more than 1.5 million children working in the cocoa sector in West Africa, where about 70% of the world’s cocoa is produced.

We can avoid supporting slavery if we seek out the Fairtrade and Rainforest Alliance logos on the chocolate wrapper when buying EASTER EGGS or Chocolates. These certification seals mean the certified ingredient was produced using methods that support social, economic, and environmental sustainability.
