Tony’s Chocolonely: Chocolate That Makes an Impact

Tony's Chocolonely is a Dutch impact company dedicated to revolutionizing the chocolate industry by ending exploitation in the cocoa supply chain. Founded in 2005 by Teun van de Keuken as a protest against child labor and modern slavery in commercial cocoa farming, Tony's Chocolonely leads the charge for ethical sourcing, transparency, and traceability from bean to bar. The company works directly with cocoa cooperatives in Ghana and the Ivory Coast, investing in long-term partnerships and paying higher cocoa prices that enable farmers to earn a living wage.

Tony’s is recognized for its bold campaigns, unorthodox product designs (such as unequally divided chocolate bars reflecting industry inequities), and unwavering commitment to raising awareness about social issues, including forced labor, deforestation, and gender equality in cocoa. Tony’s Chocolonely holds certification as a B Corp and Fairtrade organization, integrating sustainability and social responsibility throughout its business model. Its vision goes beyond its own products: Tony's aims to inspire the entire industry to adopt 100% slavery-free practices, using its platform to advocate for more ethical and sustainable chocolate worldwide.
