Child labor risks are a complex and challenging issue in our cocoa supply chain, and is affected by many factors, including poverty, demographics, education, infrastructure and local culture. We work with supply chain partners and local communities in West Africa to address the risk of child labor. Since 2012, a key element in our work has been our Child Labor Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS), which enables us to identify children at risk, raise awareness and provide remediation. Our remediation work has helped children identified as being involved in hazardous work to stop performing those tasks at the first follow up visit. With poverty being a cause of child labor risks, supporting the livelihoods of cocoa-farming communities is also an important part of our strategy.Further insights into the successes and challenges of running CLMRS in Côte d’Ivoire can be found in our Tackling Child Labor report and our Creating Shared Value and Sustainability report 2021.
