criticism

The chocolate industry, including Barry Callebaut, signed the so-called Harkin-Engel Protocol in September 2001 . This protocol contains measures that should lead to an end to the worst forms of child labor and slavery in the cocoa industry by 2005. A report by ARD in 2010 came to the conclusion that large companies such as Mars Incorporated , but also Barry Callebaut and Nestlé, still “at least tolerate” child slavery. An evaluation by Tulane University in 2011 found that of the six measures mentioned in the Harkin-Engel Protocol, not a single one was fully implemented.
