Tony's Open Chain inspires a new industry norm

How?

Our Sourcing Principles take a farmer-first approach in cocoa that places human rights and environmental protection at its core. Together, these principles are designed to support more equitable and resilient cocoa supply chains. By combining traceability, higher prices, long-term commitments, strong farmer partnerships, and enhanced quality and productivity, Tony's Open Chain aims to help address conditions associated with structural poverty while working hand in hand with cocoa cooperatives in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.
