No, they’re not paying me to tell you this, I just thought it was pretty cool that a chocolate manufacturer has won the Ethical Business award this year.

Owned by Ghanaian co-operative Kuapa Kokoo (meaning ‘good cocoa growers’), Divine turns over £2.1m per year - and 45,000 people in 1,200 villages get a share of the profits and make a collective decision on how to spend it. The award - coinciding with Divine’s 10th birthday - celebrates this empowering trade model.

James - I had a feeling this would be viewed with a slight degree of cynicism but I assure you my reasons for posting this are legitimate. The fact that Divine did send me free chocolate though only shows how great they are.
