由于可可需求不受限制和供应链不透明,主要的巧克力品牌与利比里亚的森林砍伐有关。 Major chocolate brands are linked to deforestation in Liberia due to unchecked cocoa demand and supply chain opacity.

全球目击证人报告将火星、赫希和雀巢等主要巧克力品牌与利比里亚可可带的森林砍伐联系起来,2021年至2024年,由于可可需求增加和作物歉收,利比里亚的可可带损失了250 000公顷森林。 A Global Witness report links major chocolate brands like Mars, Hershey, and Nestlé to deforestation in Liberia’s cocoa belt, where 250,000 hectares of forest were lost from 2021 to 2024 due to rising cocoa demand and crop failures. 研究发现,一些公司将经认证的可可与无法追踪的豆类混合在一起,尽管对环境造成损害,但仍能够提出可持续性索赔。 The study found companies mix certified cocoa with untraceable beans, enabling sustainability claims despite environmental harm. 农村贸易商购买可可而不检查砍伐森林情况,采矿和棕榈油等其他行业也造成森林流失。 Rural traders buy cocoa without checking for deforestation, and other industries like mining and palm oil also drive forest loss. 调查结果是欧盟辩论的结果,将无毁林的供应链法推迟至2026年。 The findings emerge as the EU debates delaying a deforestation-free supply chain law until 2026.
