Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire produce 60% of the world’s cocoa.

The UK ranks as the sixth highest consuming country of chocolate with an estimated 11kg consumed per person per year.

Cocoa farming has contributed to 70% of Côte d’Ivoire’s illegal deforestation.

The cocoa industry has a pervasive problem with child labour, with more than 2.1 million children engaging in hazardous work in the sector last season in Ghana and Côte d’Ivoire.

Milk powder and sugar contribute the most to the land use and transformation associated with chocolate, even more than cocoa!

Bear

BEAR Yoyos Strawberry 20g

Shame the individual packs are only recyclable depending on local recycling (due to the natural product needing to be preserved) but overall a good company that is doing their best to be sustainable and improve on this in the future. (Lots of info on their website) 
And I love them just as much as my children do so definitely a winner😂

Green & Black's

Green & Blacks Organic Milk Chocolate 90G

Nothing more to say, its organic chocolate,  it is perfect already

Nomo

Nomo Free From Chocolate Bar 85G

I appreciate the effort gone to include many types of people’s dietary differences and I appreciate the steps made to be more sustainable however I think more needs to be done, more recycling or supporting of sustainability research.

I would overall recommend their products as they are tasty and their company are taking steps in the right direction unlike so many others.

Nakd

Nakd Bakewell Tart Fruit & Nut Bar 35g

I would support this brand over others who do nothing to be sustainable however I think they ought to be more sustainable to stand out from other sustainable brands

Swizzels

Swizzels Double Dip Orange and Cherry Flavour Fizz Dips with a Swizzelstick 19g

I appreciate the effect the company have on local communities however little is done by them in regards to sustainability in either charity support or manufacturing ect I think more should be done by them to help the community of the future

KIND

Kind Dark Chocolate Nuts & Sea Salt 40g

They have mentioned sustainability and are involved with communities however more clarity and sustainable efforts need to be made by them

KitKat

KITKAT 2 Finger Milk Chocolate Biscuit Bar 20.7g 16 Pack

Don’t agree with nestles way of doing things or the way their farms treat animals

Tony's Chocolonely

Tony's Chocolonely Fairtrade Milk Chocolate 180g

I'm incredibly happy to have found an ethical chocolate brand and its become my favourite because of this. I would like some smaller bars and for it to be sold in more convenient places such as corner shops and newsagents. 

Use sustainable palm. Better sugars and compostable wrappers all will be well. Maybe a veggie/vegan range!?

nestle need much more corporate responsibility 

Deliciously Ella

Deliciously Ella Double Chocolate Caramel Cups 36G

it was alright. tasted healthy so not very yum haha! better packaging needed/ recyclable at least. 

The website, speaks about the velvet edition being ethically sourced but I ma not sure that all your cocoa is sourced this way. You make no mention of the environment and recycling or reusing. Not sure if you are as 'good' as you claim.

Your brand stands out as a leader in the fight against Climate Change thank you 

I like the packaging,  I like the product but I think maybe less packaging will be more suitable for what you get , as the packaging is way to bug for the product.

Chocologic

Chocologic No Added Sugar Dark Chocolate 80G

I am particularly happy to buy this chocolate as I am diabetic and both the silver wrapping and cardboard wrapping is recyclable. 

Oh gosh, where to start?! Perhaps the aggressively pushing poorer countries to formula feed infants nestle formula because it brings them money... Even though the poorer communities don't have access to sanitary environments or clean water so mothers have been formula feeding their babies with contaminated water...
Or the fact that nestle have been taking water from poorer communities around the world, (and the CEO of Nestle said himself he doesn't consider water a human right) and in turn polluting and making small poor communities water in India contaminated from how much their digging underground in their water source.
Child labour, trafficking, all of these are to name but a few of the indecent, inhumane crimes commited by Nestle every single day


Cadbury

Cadbury Dairy Milk Chocolate Bars X4 144G

I think you need to think of the impact on our world and the people in it your product has . Kitkat could be better if it was packaged differently and we could be sure of fair trade . If Coronavirus teaches us anything it’s that people not profit matters 

I love the fact that your chocolate comes from fair trade farms. 

I love that the packaging doesn't contain plastic. 

I would like to hear more about the fair trade farms that you buy from. I want to hear the farmers personal story. 

The plastic use is horrendous. Is there a way to package these bars so as to protect what is inside whilst minimising packaging? 

Smarties

Smarties Sharing Block 120g

I purchased a Smarties sharing block recently because the packaging has changed from a foil wrapper , to a paper one which is more evnvironmentally friendly. 
I feel like most Smarties products have packaging that can be recycled which is amazing!

Nakd Cocoa Orange Fruit & Nut Bar 35g

Great product, paper packaging would be better such as Kind bars

Very good chocolate and an excellent range - the chocolate orange is very popular in our house. Well packaged and from sustainable sources. Quite pricey though. But I guess you have to pay for quality.

These are delicious and a great alternative to chocolate however could improve the environmental impact. 

Tony's Chocolonely Fairtrade Dark Chocolate 70% 180g

We need more planet friendly and ethically sourced products! 

Heard that they had been taken over by one of the large companies to look as if they care but don't.

A nice taste and good fun for kids. A little overpriced and far too much non-recyclable packaging.

Good product but should be still made in UK . 

Cadbury Bournville Buttons 110G

Brilliant alternative for vegans. An easy, affordable, tasty option! However, the packaging needs to be addressed - it needs to be more environmentally friendly especially as your main market for this product is actually more environmentally aware people.

I think these are a great product made even better with their suitability for vegans. I would love to see the brand challenge themselves to make a step further to becoming more environmentally friendly. 

I love the product and even though the box the multi packs come in is recyclable i would love to see a change in the packaging of the actual bars to maybe something that is able to be composted or recycled.  

Walkers

Walkers Milk Chocolate Raisins 1.1kg

This is a well packaged and fully informative product. 

So yummy but will be better is packaging is fully recyclable 

I like the taste, the sustainability, the packaging in fact i like everything about it.........

Unbranded

Cookie Dough Bites Peanut Butter 88g

It’s good as there is no plastic packaging 

Cadbury Dairy Milk Buttons Bag 40G

Cadbury are such a major player so they need to take steps towards being more sustainable.

I would like to see this product improve in a number of ways. Firstly to use no palm oil and only ethically sourced ingredients. Secondly to be farmed and manufactured in environmentally and ethically acceptable ways, I.e. minimal impact on environment, minimal pollutants used and proper living wage for those involved in farming it and investment in their communities. Thirdly to use completely recyclable materials and even better reusable!!


Starting to package in compostable packaging instead of non recyclable plastic would make a massive difference and introducing vegan chocolate options , dairy free would be great

I have not bought cadbury products for years and years. Especially since american tale over, change to plastic packaging and utter lack of care for cocoa growers or environment.
I tell my friends about it all and will continue till things change from top to bottom.

Stop using palm oil. Use recyclable packaging. 

Great product but too much plastic packaging 

Eat Natural

Eat Natural Protein Bar 3 X 45G

Taste great but too much packaging too much plastic

I like the buttons but you need to sustainably source the ingredients and make the packaging recyclable

Pay cocoa farmers fairly and stop using plastic packaging 

I have stopped buying your chocolate which is my favourite in favour of plastic free alternatives

It would be great if you could reduce the plastic use in your packaging

Too much, unrecyclable packaging. Also no claims on using recycled materials. No information on product sourcing, environmental or community Impact

I want to see a genuine commitment to end the use of palm oil and to stop supporting deforrestation. I want to see all chocolate produced through fair trade and ethical practices and to have all packaging be recyclable 

I LOVE Cadbury chocolate but such a shame about the plastic packaging. It’s even mixed materials (foil) in most cases which makes it impossible to recycle. Mr Cadbury would not be proud. 

I don't know what cadbury does to help the planet or people. I don't buy cadbury partly because I have no idea what their sustainability mission is. I might consider buying it if I knew what they were doing to help global warming, poverty and global hunger.

Tasts great but in this day and age the packaging shouldn't be plastic and consumers should know that there is an ethical chain. 

Fairtraid coco should be used and plastic free packaging. 

Great product. Plastic free and fair trade. Would like to see this rival Cadburys. More marketing to highlight your ethos.

I love Cadbury, and always have, but it's beyond time for packaging to be 100% recycled sustainable alternatives

Cows being bred on to earth like a roter is unethical and bad for the environment.  I don't need to get into the statistics but I'm pretty sure you know that the world is having an awakening and maybe your brand can awaken too . Galaxy did but for a very high price so maybe you can do the same but for a lower cost . It would be widely appreciated my millions especially those who can't eat dairy . 
Another issue is the plastic that is used . Maybe there can be other materials you can use so you can actually call one of your products sustainable .

This specific chocolate bar has milk which I don't have because I know it's unethical , I know some of your velvet eddition doesn't but alot of people who don't consume dairy don't like dark chocolate but would love a chance to have some milk chocolate made from plants . I believe this would benifits not only the environment but your company as it broadens the horrisons in terms of who buys from your company .

The product is vegan which is brilliant so thankyou but the packaging highly contributed to carbon emmition so changing the material would be much appreciated not only from the consumer but our planet . And please for goodness sake lower the price so more people can buy the delishious snack because us peasants can't afford that much on a tiny little snack .

Totally agree! It's so important to listen to customers!

I think Cadbury has a shocking reputation of not listening to it's customers, not keeping up with current trends and not giving any thought to the environment that it so desperately relies on.




Bring back paper bags used from sustainable woodland or recycled which are biodegradable, use milk from free range cattle, or milk alternatives, don't use dyes in packaging. Even better bring back proper sweetshops with scoops and customers bring their own tubs to carry home in. 

I enjoy as a treat, would buy more if I knew it was fully sustainable

Please stop using palm oil of any form, whether it is considered "sustainable" or not in your products. I will not buy from Cadbury again until you do. 

I wish it wasn't in plastic and the chocolate was fairtrade - I don't like the guilt I get if I ever do buy these products. Please could you look at improving your sustainability and impact on resources of the earth.

Tasty bars but small which produces a lot of waste unfortunately.

I like that most of your products do not have palm oil in them. This should be extended to all products. You could reduce packaging though

The packaging is very single use and wasteful. You could put them in a loose large bag . iF people want to take them to work then they can put them in a container. It is so wasteful and the packaging cant even be recycled.

I LOVE chocolate buttons but I have been buying then less and less because I am concerned about it going to landfill

Cadbury Wispa Gold 4X41g

Really good would like too see more sustainable ingredients 

I think cadburys is incredibly unsustainable and they need to make big changes soon otherwise they will loose out on alot of money to companies who are making these changes! I personally don't buy any of their products anymore as they are all in plastic packaging (as I'm trying to go plastic free,as are alot of people these days) 

It’s dissapp that All your Cadbury products have palm oil and/or sub products, your chocolate is not supporting sustainable plantations  and none of your packages are sustainable or easily recyclable. I think you should have been thinking and considering these issues a long while ago considering the size and impact your brand has on people and new generations!
Please act on these changes and show other companies how they can lead. Everyone can and must change.

As a massive brand selling millions of items, you have a responsability to make sure you are not destroying our world for profit.  We all have our part to play and while us individuals can have a small impact on your sales, you have the scope to make a massive difference.  Sustainable ingredients and genuinely eco friendly packaging, recyclable isn't worth it unless people actually recycle it, but it'd be a start. 
We need a massive shift in consumerism, can you be brace enough to take big steps? 

Lovely concept but too much packaging and the card could be smaller!!

Way too much sugar, and the packaging is not biodegradable 

 Full of sweeteners and plastic. Too Guilty to buy it

I would love a vegan range of chocolate. Since going vegan I’ve missed this brand of chocolate, it would be great to see a sustainable packaging on regular items. There are lots of compostable material that are readily available and it should be the big brands that start the change. 

Use more environmentally kind packaging for a start

I stopped buying Cadburys a long time ago due to the use of Palm oil. Packaging not eco friendly.

Return to using FairTrade cocoa products; and demand that your palm oil suppliers use only sustainable, ethically-produced palm oil. 

This product is wrapped in material that is not environmentally useful in anyway shape or form! And uses PALM OIL can you verify that it is grown sustainably?

Can we PLEASE remove any palm oil from the product and make all packaging recyclable

Loved Cadburys all my life, but I want it to be much more environmentally friendly

Please stop using palm oil; start using fair trade chocolate and recyclable packaging- we will support you if you do 

This product is covered in plastic and full of refined sugar and palm oil. There is nothing healthy or sustainable about it. And I bet the people growing the cocoa are paid a tiny fraction of what the CEO is paid. 

I want to see Cadbury and other large companies commit to sustainable farming methods, fair trading for farmers, rights for farm workers and no plastic in packaging.

You should not be using dairy milk, as it is damaging to the environment and meant for baby cows. Produce a vegan product instead and put it in compostable packaging.  Thank you.

Cadbury your lack of change is mind blowing. As one of the largest and richest companies in the world I would expect compostable packages, vegan and  sustainable products. You seem to have not managed anything of note. Shame on you 😡

So many things are wrong with this product so let me keep it simple. 
1. The plastic (too small to recycle)
2. The contents - dairy (cows) is a leading cause in climate change. The cocoa used is bought cheaply and unsustainably then topped up with milk. Double whammy of 
idiocy. 

Would like more vegan options not priced differently  as cheaper to grow crop than milk cow steal calf water feed and obviously  then part of the slaughter n around it goes;(

The packaging should be completely bio degradable, and paper should not be used. Cutting down a tree to wrap a chocolate is not sustainable. Also the ingredients should be completely vegan.  Taking the lives of animals is awful, and there is no good reason for it. Torturing and abusing animals for the sake of human beings taste buds must stop

A big brand can have a big impact  on consumers. We are all becoming more aware of what are the ingredients and where they come from and how they were sourced. Particularly true of the younger generation.

Many are turning from normal household brands to smaller producers who source in a more environmentally friendly way. No more unmanaged unsustainable palm oil just for a shiney piece of chocolate. Please produce a more environmentally friendly product which doesn't cost their earth or the lives of orangutans or other forest animals. 

Before I buy any more delicious buttons I need to see them packaged in a sustainable way: compostable. 

Mars

Stop using palm oil. Using 100% deforestation-free palm oil by 2020 is not enough if you've contributed to the problem, such a big company should know better

In as far as chocolate can be sustainable, this is. No plastic in packaging is great

Stop putting palm oil in! Wrap the individual bars in foil or something similar, not sickening amounts of plastic that isn't even recyclable. 

Kinder

Why wrap the two bars individually?? They are already in packaging anyway, it's totally unnecessary 

Chocolate needs to be Fair Trade and NO PALM OIL. And packaging needs looking at.. its non recyclable or biodegradable..  also why shut UK factories of a uk product...
