Hvorfor er jeres chokolade Fairtrade?
Why is your chocolate Fairtrade?
Da Tony's blev grundlagt, var Max Havelaar (som er Fairtrade Holland) den eneste organisation, som ønskede at fremme fairtrade og bedre levevilkår for kakaobønderne. For at kvalificere sig til Fairtrade-certificeringen skal produktionsbetingelserne opfylde sociale og miljømæssige minimumsstandarder. Fairtrade-certificeringssystemet lægger sig tæt op ad vores mission, fordi det garanterer en minimumspris og arbejder med kooperativer. Når det er sagt, så synes vi dog, at certificering blot er begyndelsen: første trin på vejen til en fair forsyningskæde. Vi mener, det er muligt at gøre mere. Derfor har vi udviklet vores 5 principper for samarbejde.
When Tony's began, Max Havelaar (that's Fairtrade Netherlands) was the only organisation seeking to promote fair trade and better living conditions for cocoa farmers. To qualify for Fairtrade certification, production conditions must meet certain minimum social and environmental standards. Also, as a certification system, Fairtrade is most closely aligned with our mission, because it guarantees a minimum price and works with cooperatives. Having said this, as far as we're concerned, certification is simply a starting point: the first step on the way to a fair supply chain. We believe it's possible to do more. That's why we developed our 5 Principles of Cooperation.
