End modern slavery and illegal child labour in cocoa by setting a new industry standard. Together we take responsibility for the chocolate industry to drive structural change towards a more equally divided cocoa chain.
Mission Allies go beyond certification and believe in direct, equal relationships throughout the entire cocoa chain. They join Tony's Open Chain, and work together, as well as source according to the 5 Sourcing Principles.
Tony’s Open Chain consists of 5 Sourcing Principles. They need to be implemented all five. No cherry-picking. In a system, you cannot change only one thing. A change always triggers something else. These 5 Sourcing Principles interact with each other to strengthen the positive impact, but also to counteract possible, negative side-effects. An integrated approach is needed, geared to structurally change the system. Every principle has its own tools.
You can join too. Change the way you work together with farmers for equal business relations and a living income for the farmers.
