  • CC BY-SA MAKE YOUR CHOCOLATE A DIVINE ETHICAL FAIRTRADE CAMPAIGN

    by Alan Lee

    The London South Bank University Student People and Planet Group have been promoting sustainable development (SD) (include Fairtrade) in its media and events. Now they are campaigning to share the SD message far and wide by donating their intellectual property and copyright to empower others to join in the campaign and spread the message by putting its messages in a unique creative commons copyright licence. The licence allows anyone (without asking permission or cost) to copy, use, adapt and reuse their works (posters, photos and videos) in any way they like as long as they respect the moral rights, and credit London South Bank University Student People and Planet Group with the original idea and if anyone makes a derivative work, they also have to share it alike on the same terms, under a Creative Commons Share-a-like Licence (CC BY-SA). This is an example of the works http://i256.photobucket.com/albums/hh165/artealee/green/2009DIVINEFAIRTRADEPOSTER1.jpg See the Internet Archive http://www.archive.org/details/MakeYourChocolateADivineEthicalFairtrade To see all of the current works under CC BY-SA on the Internet Archive follow this URL http://www.archive.org/search.php?query=lsbu%20student

  • go shop choc

    by Nicky Holmes

    I think it would be a lovely idea if you could create re useable calico shopping bags using the lovely symbols shown on the front of your chocolate bar wrappers - this would be very eyecatching and a good sustainable promotion.

  • advertising the truth

    by Lydia Paynter

    Don't you hate the way that Nestle, Cadbury and many other companies don't tell you where they got their cocoa from? It is appalling. Their customer doesn't know where they got their cocoa from. They could have stolen it. At the prices some companies pay for a farmer's precious cocoa, it IS stealing. What do you think???

Hi Lydia,

Thank you for your comment. More consumers, such as yourself, are demanding to know where raw ingredients in their products come from, and many companies, including big chocolate companies are now starting to respond. Divine is proud to have led the way and has always been clear that our cocoa is Fairtrade and sourced from Kuapa Kokoo, the Ghanaian farmers' cooperative that owns 45% of our company.

As a consumer interested in chocolate and the chocolate business, we would be interested to know your website recommendations?

Thanks,
Laura Blake

  • Fairtrade project

    by Clare Hunt

    At college trhis month, the business department and geography department are asking us students from the sixth form of the secondary school to make students more aware of Fairtrade and what it does. We have to create awareness throughout school and them come up with an idea of how to sell Fairtrade products to the students. This involves us coming up with a product to sell around school for 3 days. Our group has decided on selling milkshakes and were wondering if we could ask for some support with this idea. We were thinking of using your Divine chocolate in the milkshake and would like to know how you could help us. Contact me via email. thank you

  • Commonwealth Women's Antarctic Expedition

    by Barbara Yanney

    The Commonwealth Women's Antarctic Expedition involves 8 women from 5 continents, 6 languages and 7 faiths, braving blinding blizzards and temperatures as low as -30 degrees to ski to the Geographic South Pole. Countries include Ghana, India, Cyprus, Jamaica, UK, New Zealand, Brunei and Singapore. For some of these women, they will make history as the first person from their country to ski to the South Pole. (www.commonwealthexpedition.com) The last point cannot be overemphasized. The women selected are such remarkable individuals yet extremely identifiable. Ordinary local girls taking on an immense international challenge. At the same time, this is the perfect opportunity to place our troubled planet in the spotlight. Antarctica’s dwindling polar ice in the heat of global warming and decimated ozone layer will make the trip technically more difficult. With people’s attention focused on the polar drama they cannot avoid how their own actions are affecting a virgin continent thousands of miles away. It is our hope that a lot of good can come out of this endeavour. Divine Chocolate is its brilliantly unique way has shown the world that 'fairtrade' is a beautiful possibility. The fact that the farmers are still of great significance even after the cocoa pods have left their farms is indeed worthy of considerable mention. Team work is at play, a notion shared with the women involved in the expedition. You might not ever reach the South Pole, but you can touch a bit of the Pole by becoming a sponsor of the Ghanaian team member, Barbara Yanney. Endorsing or sponsoring her supports diversity and gives evidence to the fact that pioneering firsts cut through ageism, classism, racism and sexism. Everything can be overcome! Surprise and supercharge your next sales meeting with a bit of living history! The possibilities for brand exposure are exceptional and for the right company we can offer very high returns for a relatively low-cost investment. After all they would be sponsoring a true modern day hero.
