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."

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.
