Junior Category Manager UK

Why we are here    
Tony’s Chocolonely is committed to ending exploitation in cocoa. We are an impact company that makes chocolate, not a chocolate company that makes impact. With incredibly tasty chocolate, we lead by example, demonstrating that ethical practices and success can go hand in hand. Through Tony's Open Chain (TOC), mission allies like Ben & Jerry's, Waitrose, Aldi and Pip & Nut have embraced a fairer, more transparent supply chain for their chocolate too.
