We are crazy about chocolate, serious about people. We aren’t just a chocolate company; we are chocolate makers with a serious social mission who exist to make 100% slave free the norm in chocolate. 

Slave free? Yes. Tony’s Chocolonely started in 2005 when investigative journalist Teun Van der Keuken (Tony) identified that illegal child labour and modern slavery are still commonplace on cocoa farms in West Africa. Latest reports show that there are 2.1 million children currently working illegally on cocoa farms in Ghana and Ivory Coast, and at least 30,000 instances of the worst forms of modern slavery.* He decided ‘enough is enough’ and set an example by creating incredibly tasty chocolate made differently, to inspire the rest of the industry to change for the better.

Since then, Tony’s Chocolonely has grown to be the #1 chocolate brand in the Netherlands, but our mission has not yet been accomplished and we need more followers in order to change the industry. We need consumers and retailers to help us shout about our chocolate and our mission. Are you in?
