From sustainable hand-carved sweets to fair trade cocoa, these chocolate-loving social businesses work on the sweet side of things, mostly through fair trade programs and sustainability initiatives.
There's a company that has taken the lead in terms of melding corporate attitude, cause marketing and ethical chocolate. That company is Divine Chocolate, a social business based in the United Kingdom that is also sold in the United States and a variety of retailers, online and physical. One of their most innovative creations that we've covered is the Divine Chocolate app, which attempts to bring in their customers through recipes as well as sharing the stories of the farmers that they work with. The app, launched about a year ago, was created by a creative agency based in London, UK called Uber.
