Our roadmap

Lead the way to 100% slave-free chocolate

This means we support projects that:

Strong_cocoa_communities

Strong cocoa
communities

We want people of all ages to have the opportunity to shape their own future. We believe a decent education and the ability to make a decent living help make this possible. In this pillar, we concentrate on communities in Ghana and Ivory Coast where Tony’s works in partnership with cocoa farming communities.

Create_awareness

Create
awareness

We want to make everyone aware of the existence of modern slavery and child labor in the chocolate industry and other industries so they can make conscious choices. We also want to show that everyone can help make 100% slave free the norm in chocolate. In this pillar, we concentrate on fostering awareness, also taking the perspective from on-the-ground into consideration by providing a platform for creatives from West Africa.

Inspire
action

We want to inspire governments and companies to enact positive change in the cocoa supply chain. To end modern slavery in the cocoa industry, the key players in the industry need to reconfigure their supply chains. In this pillar, our main areas of focus are research, lobbying and giving farmers a louder voice in the supply chain.

How it works

And how we work together

The Foundation

The Chocolonely Foundation is an independent organization with an independent board that makes its own decisions. The Chocolonely Foundation shares Tony’s mission of a 100% slave-free chocolate industry. The Foundation supports Tony’s in its mission by focusing on activities that fall outside the cocoa supply chain. The board meets 6 times a year to assess project proposals and decide on long-term strategy. The Foundation is funded primarily by Tony’s Chocolonely, which donates 1% of its annual net sales to projects supported by the Foundation.
