Divine Chocolate

Our Mission and Fair Trade

The mission of Divine Chocolate is to improve the livelihood of smallholder cocoa producers in West Africa by establishing their own dynamic chocolate brand.

We strive to:

=Make a quality and affordable range of Fair Trade chocolate bars accessible to chocolate lovers everywhere.
=Raise awareness of Fair Trade issues among retailers and consumers of all age groups.
=Be highly visible and vocal in the chocolate sector and thereby act as a catalyst for change.

What is Fair Trade?

Fair Trade aims to build dignified trading relationships between consumers in the

North and producers in developing countries. This involves changing the way that conventional international trade works, so that:
=producers receive a guaranteed price for their goods, and the security of long-term trading contracts
=producers benefit from guaranteed minimum health and safety conditions
=producers, their workplace and the environment are not exploited
=strong democratic businesses with real participation develop
=leadership development with gender equity is fostered
=education and training opportunities for producers, especially women, are actively promoted.
