Tony's Chocolonely was born after Dutch journalist Teun (Tony) van de Keuken began investigating slavery in the cocoa industry for the consumer watchdog program Keuringsdienst van Waarde.
He found that the majority of the chocolate found in supermarkets was produced using cocoa that had been harvested by slaves.
After that, he decided to act and launch his range of fair-trade chocolate products.
The first Tony's Chocolonely bars hit shelves in 2005, and they were registered with the Chamber of Commerce in 2006.
