2021 Easter Chocolate Shopping Guide
BE S L AVERY FREE
Compared to cocoa traders and chocolate manufacturers, retailers are far behind in accepting and addressing the responsibility they have for cocoa products in their value chain. In many cases, they struggle and are resistant to undertaking the work to examine their supply chain. As the biggest beneficiaries in the chocolate value chain, retailers are responsible for their own branded products and for what they put on their shelves. This scorecard is a comparative ranking of retailers on their sustainability practices.
