UK Chocolate Maker Goes Fairtrade

by David Allen on Tuesday, March 10th, 2009

One of the largest producers of the chocolate products in the UK, Cadbury, is looking to change their image from a producer that just makes a product to a business that is taking large strides to become an industry leader in ethical trading.

Cadbury’s Dairy Milk Chocolate is the leading brand in the UK and from now on will be sporting the Fairtrade logo on their products. This logo shows that the holder purchases their raw materials under Fairtrade terms, meaning that thousands of farmers and communities in Ghana will benefit from this deal.

I applaud Cadbury's proactive and progressive effort in the restructuring of their business. I only hope other big name corporations will follow Cadbury's lead and start implementing wide spread plans to utilize fair trade, and buy organic and local as much as possible. Admittedly, because Cadbury is a chocolate company, finding fair trade cocoa is much easier as it is a more established (like fair trade coffee beans)practice that has been growing in the last decade.

I would like to see McDonald's start using something similar for the millions of workers who slave to grow all the ingredients plastered on that greasy quarter pounder...
