Tony's Chocolonely

Tony's Chocolonely is an impact-driven chocolate manufacturer based in the Netherlands, founded in 2005. Born out of a desire to confront the inequities in the cocoa supply chain, the company was established by three journalists from the Dutch TV show 'Keuringsdienst van Waarde' who uncovered the issue of child labor and exploitation in the industry. Since its inception, Tony's Chocolonely has expanded its mission to not only produce great-tasting chocolate but also to change the way that chocolate is made globally. They are deeply committed to ending exploitation in cocoa, not just in their products, but across all chocolate.

The company emphasizes full traceability within its cocoa supply chain, ensuring that all beans sourced are 100% traceable back to the farms. Tony's Chocolonely collaborates directly with cocoa farmers, promoting fair trade practices and ensuring living wages to combat child labor and forced labor on cocoa farms. The brand also invests in community development, establishing projects that empower cocoa-producing communities. Through its initiatives, Tony's aims to inspire industry-wide change, showing that it is possible to make chocolate differently—ethically and sustainably. With a strong following and high visibility, Tony's Chocolonely continues to champion the cause of equity in the cocoa industry.
