Not sufficient to meet this metric. Could be in development.

Pg. 5 "In 2020, Hershey also developed a more comprehensive approach to human rights due diligence in cocoa. This process includes country of origin risk assessments, a supplier sustainability assessment, which evaluates suppliers’ policy commitments, and management systems for addressing topics like child labor, forced labor, grievance mechanisms and living income."

Pg. 9 "Looking Ahead - Promote a living wage & income within our value chain: Share our position on living wage & income in our value chain, including continuing to pay a living wage to Hershey employees and implementing concrete actions to improve farmer incomes in cocoa."

Changed to yes due to this:

pg. 5 - "Through Cocoa For Good, Hershey aims to disrupt the cycle of poverty which

is an underlying contributor to issues like child or forced labor. Specifically, the program works to increase the profitability of cocoa farming as well as diversify incomes at the household level, educate families on the value of savings, empower communities, foster women’s leadership, and improve the quality of nutrition and access to education."
