We eat chocolate for comfort, celebration, and indulgence. Cocoa is the key ingredient in chocolate. What is really going on with the sourcing of cocoa? We surveyed the world’s biggest chocolate companies to find out!

Help Us to Continue
25 years after the first promises to eliminate child labour, it's still happening.
Cocoa prices are soaring as supply dwindles. For the first time, chocolate companies are feeling the pressure that farmers have faced for years—unstable incomes and unpredictable harvests. It’s an unfair system that leaves those at the bottom struggling to survive, but the burden of risk cannot fall on farmers alone. Children forced to work cannot be the outcome.
Scattered initiatives aren’t enough. What’s needed is coordination—a unified strategy. We’re calling on companies, governments, civil society, and consumers to step up. This is a shared responsibility. Together, we can drive real change for people and the planet.
It’s time to act. Will you?
By donating to Be Slavery Free, you are not just giving money; you are investing in a future where cocoa farming communities thrive, free from exploitation and child labor. Each dollar you contribute strengthens our fight for living income, children in schools, and sustainable sourcing practices that benefit everyone in the supply chain.
Don’t let this opportunity slip by—join us in standing up for farmers, their children and their communities.
