"The Hershey Company human rights policy outlines our broader commitment to respect human rights throughout our value chain, including efforts to prevent and address modern slavery and forced labor."
"The backbone of Hershey’s commitment to a responsible and sustainable supply chain is our Supplier Code of Conduct (“Supplier Code”). This document sets forth Hershey’s standards and expectations with respect to environmental, social and governance issues in our supply chain. Our Supplier Code prohibits forced labor and human trafficking, including but not limited to, any form of prison, slave, bonded or forced indentured labor. Our Supplier Code also emphasizes responsible recruitment practices, including prohibiting recruitment fees and withholding of identity documents, as well as freedom of movement, as these issues often contribute to forced labor. Finally, we communicate our Supplier Code through multiple channels, including through
(i) language in Hershey’s contracts that requires Supplier Code of Conduct compliance, (ii) our Responsible Sourcing Supplier Program that requires enrolled suppliers’ formal acknowledgement of our Supplier Code"
"Hershey does not tolerate child or forced labor in our operations and in our supply chain."
"We recognize the concepts of living wage and living income as human rights for people that work for Hershey directly or are within our extended supply chain"
