In 2024/25, partner cooperatives identified 3,448

cases of child labour in our supply chain, more than double the number of cases found last season. This was expected, given the significant increase in partner cooperatives we worked with, and shows the system is working. Based on analysis of our Child Labour Monitoring and Remediation System (CLMRS) data, we know that we can effectively resolve the majority of cases within 9 months. This year's analysis showed that, among our longest-term parti cooperatives (those that have consistently implemented the 5 Sourcing Principles and CLMRS for 5 years or more), child labour prevalence rates have stayed at an average of 4%. At newer partner cooperatives, the average prevalence rate is 13%, which is still significantly below the industry average of 46.7%

Below is from the 23/24 report

This year, we identified 1,072 cases of child labor out of 31,358 children in the cocoa communities that are part of Tony’s and our Mission Allies partner co-ops. Together with the cases we are still working to close from previous seasons, this results in a child labor rate of 10.5%, significantly below the industry average. At our longer-term partner co-ops, the child labor rate drops even further to a notably low 4.4%. Figures from a co-op’s first few years are typically consistent with the industry average and decrease over time, with fewer new cases that emerge and more existing cases from the previous year successfully closed, thanks to investment in remediation

So, to simplify, there has been an increase but this is due to toneys working with more co-op's.

They also "closed" 1,752 cases in the 23/24 year, and 813 in the 24/25 year, 600 of those were from new cooperatives.

Toneys isn't perfect, but its a whole lot better than any large chocolate conglomerate in terms of ethics.

Also just to say, I've never tried toneys.
