Join “Raise the Bar Hershey” campaign
“The Exodus from Egypt occurs in every human being, in every era, in every year and even on every day” – Reb Nachman of Bratslav
Raise the Bar Hershey is a national campaign organized by Global Exchange, Green America, the International Labor Rights Forum and Oasis.
Ten years ago chocolate companies committed to ending child labor, forced labor, and trafficking in their cocoa supply chains, yet these egregious labor rights abuses continue. While many chocolate companies have taken steps to trace their cocoa purchasing and implement labor rights standards among their suppliers, the Hershey Company lags behind its competitors. Hershey has no policies in place to trace its cocoa and protect workers.
