"We maintained our commitment to train 100% of procurement professionals on human rights."

"Our Supplier Guidebook provides specific resources on how to prevent forced labor and other human rights abuses and our memberships with the RLI and SEDEX provide a broad range of e learning and education on key human rights topics including forced labor and responsible recruitment."

In 2020, we met our goal of training 100% of procurement professionals on human rights – well ahead of our 2021 deadline.

Procurement professionals must achieve an 80% or higher score to pass the training, which accounted for more than 100

hours of e-learning. The Hershey Company Human Rights training which will be required every other year, is a 40-minute

e-learning module that covers key human rights topics such as the UNGPs: Hershey’s salient human rights issues, including

child and forced labor; considerations for human rights and purchasing practices; and how to be an internal champion for

human rights. In addition to the procurement function, more than 400 additional Hershey employees voluntarily completed

the course and in 2021, Hershey will expand the requirement to at least two additional departments. Finally, Hershey also

partnered with the Responsible Labor Initiative (RLI) to train Hershey procurement and human resource professionals on

recognizing and preventing forced labor via the RLI e-learning Academy course modules.
