Fair Trade

Last month Pope Francis said, "We cannot ignore the fact that there is as much slavery in the world today, as there was before, or perhaps more". 

Can’t find slavery-free Easter eggs in your supermarket? Ten years ago there was almost no slavery-free chocolate in our supermarkets in Australia. Now, because of public pressure and consumer demands, most supermarkets will sell them. We thank you for contributing to the demand for slavery-free chocolate. However, we have a long way to go.

Good News! There is now slavery-free chocolate available in so many places. It tastes delicious and is no more expensive than other chocolate. Try ALDI, Haighs, OXFAM and leading supermarket brands. The Catholic Archdiocese Melbourne is also converting to slavery-free tea and coffee. Get on board!

Take Action: When buying chocolate for Easter, look for  chocolate that has the fair trade symbol. If you can’t find any, ask the manager to see if they do stock some.
