Sr. Partnership Specialist

Why we are here Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes an impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Albert Heijn, Ben & Jerry's, Jokolade, and Aldi have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too. Tony’s Open Chain aims for systemic change in the cocoa industry, focusing on higher cocoa prices, human rights and environmental protection. Together with all its partners, Tony's Open Chain works towards a future where cocoa farmers are enabled to earn at least a living income, where children can go to school, learn and play and where forests are protected.
