Episode 29 Overview
In the weeks leading up to Easter, organizations around the world are hopping to it, metaphorically speaking, publishing guides aka scorecards to “ethical” chocolate brands – ones to laud and grace with our patronage and ones to cast aside as not worthy of our custom and to avoid.
One question that always comes to my mind when I see one of these guides is, “Why should anyone pay attention to them?”
To understand why I ask this question and have come to the conclusions I havee, it’s important to take a look at what the scorecards do – and don’t – say and what we can learn from looking at the progress of the scorecards and the information they present. And that’s what I will do in this episode.
The current publisher of the scorecard being examined in this episode - Be Slavery Free. Given what I have seen of this year’s scorecard and the “progress” over past scorecards, this is not an organization I can recommend supporting.
Creating these lists is difficult. You can help me keep these current! Please email updates to Member Support. Members can post updates in the comments to this post.
