FFC supports end of child labor in Cocoa Sector

FFC joins fellow investors calling on chocolate companies to take immediate and effective action to eradicate child labor in the West African cocoa supply chain and to further support this work through ensuring all cocoa farmers in the supply chain receive a living income. As noted in the letter, “without ensuring cocoa farmers receive a living income, cocoa farmers will remain in poverty and will continue to rely on child labor, as they are unable to afford hired help.” With less than a year to go before the SDG 2025 goal to eradicate child labor, companies must take action on this issue.
