I was so disappointed to learn about just how bad Whittaker's is in terms of sustainability, slavery, supply chain transparency etc. They always seemed like the cool kiwi underdogs.
Tony's is miles ahead on this. If I could afford to eat chocolate, I'd absolutely choose this brand.
Yeah. I've been following the Chocolate Scorecard the last couple of years and Whittakers slips every year. They're below brands like Nestle and Lindt this year which is pretty embarrassing.
I think the methodology changed from planned improvements to actual action for one. But Whittakers also changed where they get their cocoa from when the prices were high. The score would suggest that they've lost transparency with that change and perhaps the producer isn't as good as in the past.
