5. Hershey’s
Product: Chocolate
Annual Revenue: $5.7 Billion
Promotes Forced Labor in: West Africa
Despite signing many pacts with several organizations with a promise to use ethical labor, the giant chocolate manufacturer used cocoa produced in West African firms that enforce child labor. After a campaign called Raise the Bar aimed against Hershey’s the company is considering to take its hands off the plantations that have any kind of unethical background or that promote slavery.
