We started clustering CLMRS activities according to how long we have been working with a co-op. We do this to gain a clearer picture of the effectiveness of the 5 Sourcing Principles in addressing child labour, and of the specific social factors driving child labour over time. The average rate of child labour in the chocolate industry is 46.5% (NORC Report, 2020) which we see in the co-ops that we just started working with. Compared to 20/21, the number of cases found at the long-term partner cooperatives has increased though, because new members have recently joined. Which is why it is imperative to rigorously implement CLMRS, including continuous awareness raising. Cooperatives and communities are dynamic places, which is why we believe every household should be visited at least once a year.
