Following months of negative headlines, Swiss Air Lines decided to cut ties with the chocolatier that recently has expanded into North America, running stores in both New York City and Toronto. Sweets made by Läderach will be phased out by April 2020, the airline announced.

January 31, 2020 (LifeSiteNews)—Swiss Air Lines has dropped chocolate manufacturer Läderach over its owner’s affiliation with a pro-life, pro-family Christian organization.

For more than 10 years, Läderach had supplied the airline with small boxes of chocolates that were given to some passengers as a token of appreciation.

Following months of negative headlines, Swiss Air Lines decided to cut ties with the chocolatier that recently has expanded into North America, running stores in both New York City and Toronto. Sweets made by Läderach will be phased out by April 2020, the airline announced.

According to an article published by Swiss magazine “Beobachter,” the airline has a significant number of homosexuals among its employees.

Jürg Läderach, owner of the chocolate manufacturer, is the president of “christianity for today” (cft), an evangelical organization based in Switzerland. CEO Johannes Läderach also serves on the board of cft.

Among other things, cft is one of the sponsors of the March for Life taking place in different locations in Switzerland every year. Last year, more than 1,200 pro-lifers marched in Zurich, the largest Swiss city.

On their website, cft emphasizes that the family—consisting of a man married to a woman, as well as their kids—constitutes the foundation of an intact society, especially if that relationship is nourished by the Bible.

Additionally, cft advocates for the protection of life from conception to natural death. The organization calls for Christian values to be instilled in children. Parents, cft explains, are the primary educators of their children—a fact which schools are to take into account.
