This company has committed to removing palm oil from its entire product range by Nov 2020.

For 9 years Darrell Lea avoided repeated attempts by Stop the Traffik Australia (now Be Slavery Free) to discuss using cocoa certified as free of trafficked and forced labour in its chocolate products. In 2018 Darrell Lea finally announced they would source 100% of their cocoa through Barry Callebaut's Cocoa Horizon sustainability program, which is aimed at improving the livelihoods of smallholder cocoa farmers through farm and community level activities.

Some, but not necessarily all, of this company's chocolate products are palm oil free. For more details, follow the link to see Borneo Orangutan Survival Australia's list of products which manufacturers have told them are palm oil free or contain segregated certified sustainable palm oil.

This company's Smooze products have been verified as compliant with the Non-GMO Project Standard, North America's only independent verification for products made according to best practices for GMO avoidance.

Quadrant owned Rockpool Dining Group, a giant in the hospitality and dining scene, has been accused of "one of the most egregious cases of wage theft Australia has seen yet" by a law firm alleging the company has underpaid its workers at least $10 million.

Quadrant bought a large stake in Independent Pub Group in 2007, which owned several hotels, including gaming venues. Quadrant has since sold its stake in the hotel group.
