Big Bar 28% White Chocolate - Strawberry Cheesecake

Ben & Jerry's has signed up to Tony’s 'Open Chain', an industry-led initiative that helps chocolate brands transform their cocoa supply chains and become sustainability frontrunners.

'Open Chain' companies take responsibility for:

√ An open and transparent chain, where issues are always brought out in the open so they can be solved

√ Direct and equal business relations throughout the entire chain

√ Paying a higher price which makes a living income achievable for farmers

Made in Belgium with Fairtrade beans from cocoa farms in Ghana and the Ivory Coast that are 100% slave free. Comes presented in the traditional chocolate way - in foil and a paper wrapper. The uncoated paper wrapper is made from recycled paper from sustainably managed forests and is fully recyclable. It details the brand's mission to end modern slavery and illegal child labour which is alarmingly common in West Africa - where 60% of the world's cocoa comes from.

Palm oil free and certified Fairtrade.

180g - approximately 8.5cm wide x 16cm long x 1.5cm high.

Tony's Chocolonely exists to show that chocolate can be made differently, without slavery and exploitation. The brand has developed its own recipe for slave free cocoa with five principles enabling the farmers to make a decent living. It also ensures that it knows exactly where its beans come from, and allows it to work with the farmers directly to eliminate the abuse in the industry.

In addition to the usual Fairtrade premium paid to farmers, Tony's Chocolonely pay a 'Tony’s' premium so cocoa farmers can earn a decent income. The premium helps increase the farmer’s income by enabling them to invest in resources that increase productivity, such as agricultural training courses and nurseries for new cocoa trees. The premium also reduces their outgoings by enabling them to buy fertiliser in bulk and install central water pumps and by making education more accessible. More than 9.2% of the retail price of Tony's bars goes to the cocoa farmers.

All Tony's cocoa farmers are affiliated with their partner cooperatives, which comprise Kapatchiva, Ecojad, ECAM and Socoopacdi in Ivory Coast and ABOCFA, Asetenapa and Asunafo in Ghana. Tony’s Impact team regularly travels to Ghana and the Ivory Coast to visit their partner cooperatives and attend the annual meetings. They always take an extra bag of Tony's chocolate with them so that the farmers can see the results of all their hard work!
