Tony's Open Chain inspires a new industry norm
How?
Tony’s 5 Sourcing Principles take a farmer-first approach in cocoa that prioritises human rights and environmental protection, aiming to reverse institutionalised inequality. By combining these 5 Sourcing Principles – traceability, higher prices, long-term commitments, strong farmer partnerships, and enhanced quality and productivity – Tony's Open Chain seeks to end structural poverty and establish more equitable relationships with cocoa cooperatives in Ghana and Côte d'Ivoire.
