Graham Watson's insight:
It seems as though a majority of confectionery manufacturers are using chocolate suppliers who aren't paying a fair wage. The study also looked at whether they were adopting other sustainable practices in relation to sustainability, tax avoidance, the use of palm oil, deforestation and packaging.

There are variety of contributory factors, and also a number of other implications of this for all stakeholders concerned.
