Making an IMPACT while staying true to one's mission can seem daunting, but Tony’s Chocolonely is embracing this challenge head-on. This episode of The IMPACT Game Changers™ delves into the ethos, triumphs, and vision of Tony's Chocolonely as it makes waves in the chocolate industry.
Founded in 2005 by journalists seeking to expose the illicit undertones of chocolate manufacturing, Tony's has since expanded globally beyond its native Holland. Tony's Chocolonely is nothing short of revolutionary in its aim to eradicate slave labour from the chocolate supply chain. Former Chief Chocolate Officer Henk Jan Beltman describes their roadmap to 100% slave-free chocolate as a journey marked by transparency, scalability, and the need for industry replication.
The company invites competitors to join Tony's Open Chain, a cooperative model promoting ethical cocoa sourcing. This paradigm shift has seen positive results from leading supermarkets that have embraced Tony's open-source model, transforming the entire sector.
