Children in Ghana, some as young as 5, are working cocoa fields and wielding machetes instead of attending school.

      Tony’s is one of the bigger brands. Even they will admit their efforts aren’t always perfect but it’s about constant audits to keep the supply line safe

        Yeah I know about Tonys’s. Do you know where I could find the findings of those audits?

            But that isn’t an audit report, is it? Just pr material that they themselves produced.
