Pip & Nut has announced it will source the cocoa for its confectionery nut butter cups through Tony’s Open Chain, an industry-led sourcing initiative,started by chocolate brand Tony’s Chocolonely, that supports companies in transforming their cocoa supply chains and become sustainability frontrunners.
It joins the likes of Waitrose, Aldi, Ben & Jerry’s and Huel in committing to the five Tony’s Open Chain sourcing principles - including rigorous sourcing standards, robust traceability, paying the Living Income Reference Price for cocoa and building long term partnerships with partner cooperatives to support farmers and develop thriving cocoa communities.
CEO and founder, Pippa Murray, said: “We have an important role to play in championing ethical and sustainable sourcing across our supply chain. Joining Tony’s Open Chain is a natural step, and we’re so proud to be the first UK snacking brand to become a Mission Ally. From today, our commitment is that all our cocoa will be sourced through the Open Chain, starting with our delicious nut-butter cups, and continuing with any new chocolate product we make.”
