Making progressPending Review

Tony's Chocolonely demonstrates strong supply chain transparency and deforestation-free sourcing through satellite mapping of 29,326+ farms, but absolute emissions figures remain unpublished despite SBTi commitments. Revenue growth of 60% in two years undermines credibility of claimed emission reductions. The Barry Callebaut partnership, removal from Slave Free Chocolate list, and reliance on offsets are unresolved weaknesses.
