Hershey falling short on Fair Trade

October is Fair Trade Month.  Even though Hershey leads the US market share at just over 40%, they are doing the least in the area of fair trade.  Competitors Mars, Kraft, Nestle, and Cargill are embracing fair trade.  Global Exchange, Green America, and the International Labor Rights Forum, and Oasis USA got together to release the report, TIME TO RAISE THE BAR: The Real Corporate Social Responsibility Report for the Hershey Company.   (Hershey released its first ever Corporate Social Resonsobility Report last week.)
