Easter Chocolate Shopping Guide
Summary
The document evaluates cocoa suppliers based on their sustainability policies, highlighting the role of cocoa in driving global deforestation and the varying levels of corporate commitment to sustainable practices.
Key insights
- Mighty Earth's investigations indicate that cocoa production is a driver of global deforestation, which results in the destruction of rainforest habitats for endangered wildlife, including chimpanzees.
- The guide assigns awards to specific entities based on their policy performance: Lindt received 'The Good Egg Award' for the most significant improvement in sustainable policies, while SucDen received 'The Rotten Egg Award' for poor policies and a lack of transparency.
- The assessment of cocoa suppliers is based on five key sustainability criteria: worldwide deforestation-free cocoa, worldwide agroforestry for all cocoa, traceability of West African supplier cocoa, and living income for cocoa suppliers.
