In November 2011, FLA commissioned a team of 20 local and international experts to…map stakeholders in Nestlé’s cocoa supply chain; map Nestlé’s cocoa supply chain in the Ivory Coast; and assess the associated labor risks in Nestlé’s cocoa supply chain. FLA’s assessment of the cocoa supply chain builds on existing research and focuses not on counting the number of children working in the industry, but rather on evaluating the root causes and means available to build a robust monitoring and remediation system. The report identifies gaps in Nestlé’s internal management systems and their effect on labor risks in the supply chain. The report also provides detailed recommendations to Nestlé, the government, and other international buyers on how to mitigate risks to workers throughout the global supply chain.
