Tony's Chocolonely is a Dutch confectionery brand founded in 2005 by journalist Teun van de Keuken (Teun) after he discovered that many chocolate manufacturers were using illegal child labor and modern slavery. The brand is famous for its mission to make chocolate 100% slave-free worldwide and its distinctive unequally divided chocolate bars, which represent the inequality in the chocolate industry.

While the brand is headquartered in Amsterdam, Netherlands, the actual manufacturing of the chocolate bars primarily takes place in Belgium, specifically at Alprose and Barry Callebaut facilities that adhere to the brand's strict ethical sourcing standards. The ownership structure has evolved over time, with the investment firm Verlinvest becoming a majority shareholder in recent years to fund international expansion while maintaining the brand's social mission.
