If Tony's Chocolonely founder Teun van de Keuken had his way, he would've ended up behind bars long before he created his popular chocolate company. The crime? Fueling slavery by knowingly purchasing a chocolate bar made with illegal child labor. Nearly 20 years later, Tony's Chocolonely is not only one of the most popular chocolate brands in van de Keuken's native Netherlands, it is known around the world.

Tony's has been founded in the Netherlands and we've eaten it here for over 10 years. Initially it had very ethical business principles at its' core, but even the original founder said that after losing control/selling the company to other business people, it turned more into greenwashing rather than staying true to the initial goal of eradicating slave labour and child labour form the production chain.

@VluggeJapie59 23 дня назад

@@ayushisharma162 The hurdles are there because when it comes to choosing between a "Better" brand we decry it isn't perfect. Marketing to people with high ethical standards is very difficult because they also tend to inform themselfs well and are willing to drop you if you do anything they don't like. While your competitors can be as evil as they want because their consumers don't care. This comment section is a good example. So many people who are opposed to buying Tony's simply because they aren't slave free or manufacture in africa. Now maybe these people are prepared to pay 10 euro per bar for that kind of ehtical standard. But a lot of people aren't so Tony's now has a choice. Cater to the extremes and lose the middle. Or cater to the middle and loose the extreme. Either way their consumer base get's smaller.

@Trainrhys 21 день назад

The problem is chocolate is so labour intensive the workers arnt worth any minimum wage and the children want money so it’s the logical answer as everyone is happier than before so while it is questionable it is actually a good thing compared to without it, the problem is that the people don’t have the skills to make a business or work so if anything there education should be the aim instead of removing people from there jobs as they arnt getting enough

As someone from the UK I had assumed this was a slightly more ethical, but mainly overpriced chocolate.

They also taste fantastic too - not sure that is anything to do with the ethics of the business but the process they use really does maximise the product. Full credit to the company and the chocolatiers.

If they could they would. However when you want to take on the industry that means selling in grocery strores. This mean massive production. The kind of scale you can't achieve when you are starting out. We are talking processing the massive amounts of milk, sugar, Cocoa with advanced machinery running 24/7 on a stable energy grid. It means the infrastructure to move everything, a predictable political climate and regional sability. Those things don't come over night. So you have two options. Produce there on a smaller scale. Every bar you sell will provide more human value. But you will sell less bars because you can't sell to the mass consumer. Or sell to the mass consumer. Start with a sligly better product and as you gain market share use the economy of scale to invest back into your production chain increasing the value you provide the people who make your products. However your value per bar soled will be lower. Tony's is going for the second one. And that means right now the can't yet produce in Africa.

@kishisetasama Месяц назад

Hailing from a third world country myself and working with people below the poverty line, some children actually do want to work to help their family even though their parents tell them to study. I think there's a fine line between child labor and children choosing to work because they have goals (my dad was one of those who chose to work as a kid). And while I know there is child labor in these farms (and i have been in these coco conferences asking hard questions that ate never answered), we also have to wonder if there are children who work just because they want to help out their family...

@KaiayaRules Месяц назад

Hence why their approach is to pay the parents a living wage so their children don't need to help out their families. I'm from a very different cultural and socioeconomic background, so I respect that I might not fully grasp the complexity of this, but the thought of a child being so aware of their parent's poverty that they develop the wish to work seems utterly tragic to me. No family should be reliant on their kid's income. These companies must pay fair wages because children shouldn't have to "want to work" in the first place.

@kishisetasama Месяц назад

I wonder if anyone really understands how living wages work and how it's not enough for families. Fine, families don't starve. Kids go to school...and then they see someone (classmates or friends) having something they want but their parents only earn a living wage. It isnt even a smartphone. Its just a nicer pencil or a bag without holes. Or maybe they want a snack aside from their lunch but their parents are budgeting. What do they do? Do they steal or work? My dad just wanted a new pair of slippers so he worked at the market selling tomatoes and salt near where his mom sold fish and meat so he can have a new pair that he likes.

I hope they break even, CNBC keeps showing all these businesses very largely in debt but they have very promising products. But it takes good management and a great product to make a good business, I would like them to come back and revisit these companies in the future to see if they made it.

0:25 "Which was up about 6% in 2023 over 2022" 08:22 "Chocolate consumption actually dipped 6% in 2023" 🤔

Why did they section their chocolate bars like that? This is the only reason for why I don't buy their chocolates.

There's a lot of people in the world. You don't need to influence all of them. Just enough.

I tried that chocolate once...... Worth every cent

These bars cost a fortune at our local. There's no way I'd ever buy them over something manufactured here considering they cost at least two times as much. They are more than double the price at $9 per 180g vs $4 per 180g for a Cadbury bar here. And our chocolate is already fairly unadulterated anyway.
