From 'Worst Forms of Child Labour', we considered that the risk of child labor is high in Turkey location and in hazelnut harvesting. pg. 6 "In November 2020, we established a partnership with the ILO to implement a 40-month project in Turkey to contribute to the elimination of the worst forms of child labour in seasonal agriculture in hazelnut harvesting."

We carefully assess the risks and opportunities for each raw material to identify the best way
to source it sustainably.4
Ferrero is a long-standing member of the World Cocoa Foundation (since 2005) and the International Cocoa
Initiative (since 2008). We are a founding member of CocoaAction and the Cocoa & Forests Initiative (see here
our Action Plan on key principles and strategies that underpin socially and environmentally sustainable cocoa
production). Through collaborative efforts, we engage with these industry and sectoral partners to address and
find common solution to tackle forced child and adult labour issues. Ferrero also joined a coalition of like-minded
stakeholders advocating in support of mandatory human rights due diligence.
We also work with partners such as Save the Children to implement Child-Centred Community Development
programmes on the ground. The objectives of the collaboration are to put mechanisms in place to protect
children, mitigate child and forced labour, and provide opportunities for children through access to quality
education, basic facilities like water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), and good nutrition.
