I was under the impression that Tony’s is working towards a chocolate industry without child labor and forced labor. But the issue is quite complex and they’re not there yet.
Not saying they’re bad. It seems that they’re doing what they can and according to their website they “lead by example”. But I’m not sure if they make any promises about a 100% child labor / forced labor free supply chain at this moment.
The above could be outdated, maybe they’ve achieved their objectives for their own supply chain already. But I can’t find it on their website atm.
-
Previously they claimed no slave labor for many years.
They audited their supply chain every year, but eventually found that no matter the claims of their suppliers and auditors, they were finding instances of child labor.
So they’ve updated their stance and are actively working to change the industry
Here’s an article from 2022 covering the issue

I think it used to say "as little slavery as possible" or something like that but I don't see that written out anymore, just implied.
From the inside of one I just opened:

It used to say "slave free" (yes, without a hyphen because apparently they know better than 4 translators) but now it says they try to be as slave free as possible.
-
It actually doesn't even say that anymore, it's even more vague now. Thats what I was trying to show with the picture

That consumer reports link. YIKES!

Did you also learn this information from John Oliver like me?
-
No I think they were pretty open about it themselves. Don’t watch John Oliver tbh 😅.

He does a great job but it's all USA focused content
