Hold Candy Giants Accountable!

Candyland is so messed up.

The horrid truth is that the chocolate giants who dominate billion-dollar holidays like Halloween just aren’t doing enough to end rainforest destruction in their chocolate and sweets.

Land is stolen from Indigenous and local communities, rainforests are destroyed, fires spew carbon into the atmosphere, and critical habitat is fractured so that Conflict Palm Oil plantations can move in. What’s more, other ingredients candymakers use — like cocoa, soy, and pulp & paper — are also major drivers of rainforest destruction.

It’s time to hold these candy giants accountable for their impacts on people and planet!

To Ferrero, Mars, and Mondelēz:

The world’s climate is at a perilous tipping point and protecting forests is a critical element to any real solution. Yet forests, and the communities at the frontlines of forest destruction, are increasingly under threat. As we approach one of the biggest holiday seasons, your company still has not come clean to its consumers about its forest footprint and shown that your Halloween candy will be made without forest and peatland destruction and human rights abuses.

I call on your company to immediately investigate and disclose the footprint of your supply chains and investments on global forests, peatlands, and Indigenous Peoples and frontline communities.

Please show the world that rainforest and rights-friendly candy can be made, and that your company is taking the urgent climate, biodiversity, and human rights crisis seriously. You can only stop deforestation and exploitation if you understand the impact of your company’s sourcing. We still have a chance to keep forests standing, but there is no time to waste.

Sincerely,
