Our roadmap

A chocolate industry free of child labour and forced labour

To achieve this, we focus on project that fit these 3 pillars:

Strong_cocoa_communities

Build strong cocoa
communities

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

Create_awareness

Create
awareness

We want to make everyone aware of the existence of forced labour and child labour in the chocolate industry so they can make conscious choices. In this pillar, we concentrate on fostering awareness, taking the perspective from on-the-ground into consideration by providing a platform for creatives from West Africa.

3

Inspire
action

We want to inspire governments and companies to enact positive change in the cocoa supply chain. To end child labour and forced labour 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

who are we and how we work together

The Foundation

The Chocolonely Foundation shares a name with Tony’s, and a mission too: a 100% slave-free chocolate industry. The Foundation is an independent organisation and its board makes its own decisions. The Foundation supports projects that positively impact the societies in which cocoa farmers work and live. The Chocolonely Foundation supports Tony’s mission by focussing on activities that fall outside the direct cocoa supply chain. It was founded in 2008 when the bright red Tony’s bars started turning a profit. It’s primarily funded by a dedicated 1% of Tony’s annual turnover – and that’s revenue, not just profit! The board meets about 8 times a year to assess project proposals and decide on its long-term strategy.
