STOP THE TRAFFIK- in human beings - look at what has been achieved!

WHAT WE'VE ACHIEVED SO FAR

Six weeks after launching STOP THE TRAFFIK's March on Mars campaign, Mars made an announcement.

They have promised to make their GLOBAL product range traffik free by 2020, starting with Galaxy bars in the UK and Ireland next year.

Mars are giving us a short term commitment with Galaxy bars while we keep asking for evidence of long term, global change.

STOP THE TRAFFIK chocolate campaign developments:

• July 2008:
  Verkade committed to 100% fairtrade cocoa and sugar in their chocolate bars in Netherlands from autumn 2008
• February 2009:
  Swiss Noir committed to fairtrade cocoa in their chocolate bars in Netherlands from March 2009
• March 2009:
  Cadbury committed to fairtrade Dairy Milk in the UK and Ireland from autumn 2009
• April 2009:
  Mars committed to Rainforest Alliance cocoa in Galaxy bars in the UK and Ireland from 2010 and across their whole product range globally by 2020

STOP THE TRAFFIK congratulates Verkade, Swiss Noir, Cadbury and MARS

By continuing to call upon chocolate manufacturers to only use Fairly Traded cocoa in their products and by only buying Fair Trade chocolate ourselves, we can create a world in which chocolate doesn't leave a bitter after taste.

Lets ask Nestlé what they are doing
