Dear David West, CEO of Hershey

We are asking Hershey Company to become a leader in sustainable cocoa production by purchasing Fair Trade Certified cocoa for your candy bars. With a label from an independent third party certifier, consumers have a way of knowing that Hershey is working to respect farmers and the environment, and end abusive child labor in the cocoa industry. Fair Trade is the only label that gives farmers a fair price for their cocoa beans so they can support their families and escape poverty.

    • It is great that you are trying to get 'Hershey's' chocolate into the fair trade industry. i am studying fair trade and child labour and fair trade at school and it's pretty serious stuff! Good good!
