#40 Belinda Christine Borck: Tony's Chocolonely's Journey to Transform the Industry - A Chocolate Revolution
On the podcast this week, we are joined by Belinda Christine Borck, Global Public Policy Coordinator at the Dutch-based chocolate producer Tony's Chocolonely.
Tony’s mission is to make 100% slave free the norm in all chocolate worldwide, and founder Teun van de Keuken picks the name “Chocolonely” to encapsulate his “lonely fight against inequality in the chocolate industry”.
The company has changed the standard square piece format of the chocolate bar to an unequally divided piece to symbolize the unequally divided cocoa supply chain.
In this episode, Richard and Belinda discuss:
How chocolate companies can combat systemic poverty by ensuring that farmers and producers in their supply chain receive a living income
The importance of traceability as a base for companies to take responsibility for their potential negative impacts
The role of legislations such as the EU Deforestation Regulation, the EU Forced Labour Regulation or the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive to enhance corporate transparency and address human rights and environmental violations
Tony’s Open Chain: how collaborating on cocoa does not impede competition on chocolate
… and more!
