Tony's Chocolonely
Overview
Our vision is 100% slave free chocolate. All chocolate worldwide. Alone we make slave free chocolate, together we make all chocolate 100% slave free. Right now, slaves are working on cocoa farms in West Africa. Many of them are children. Tony’s Chocolonely exists to change that. Our vision is 100% slave free chocolate. Not just our chocolate, but all chocolate worldwide. With incredibly tasty chocolate we lead by example and show the world chocolate can be made differently: in taste, packaging and the way we treat cocoa farmers. 100% slave free, fair and transparent. Alone we make slave free chocolate, together we make all chocolate 100% slave free. So we ask you to join in. The more people choose slave free and share our story, the sooner 100% slave free becomes the norm in chocolate. The choice is yours. Are you in? crazy about chocolate, serious about people.
