    Hi darkteckno, looks like it's Cadbury's! The report you found is an old article (dated 17th April 2001).

    In a report dated 29th March 2007, The Independent newspaper, states: Children are being forced to work on cocoa farms in west Africa despite a pledge by the chocolate companies more than five years ago to start eradicating child labour.

    In 2001, after an international outcry and a warning from the United States Congress, the global chocolate industry signed an agreement known as the Cocoa protocol. At first they promised to have made serious inroads towards ending the problem by July 2005. But they missed their targets, and Congress gave them three more years. "That deadline came and went and we were very unhappy," said Eliot Engel, the Democrat congressman who initiated the protocol. "They now need to live up to that agreement. If they don't we'll make a decision in 2008".

    The full article is reproduced here:
    http://news.independent.co.uk/world/africa/article2401700.ece

    The BBC also have an updated report (written 3 days ago) that provides more information: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/business/6575713.stm

    But no mention of cadburys in either article or did i miss something?
