Divine needs your help to spread awareness and introduce more people to the great taste of Divine. Which sites do we need to be on to persuade people to try our Fairtrade chocolate?

  • Divine on the River

    by Lynne Medlock

    I am planning a kayaking trip to the Alps in June, and am very keen to explore the chance to work with Divine on some sort of promotional deal. I am the captain of the Exeter University Canoe Club, and will be taking around 20 paddlers to the Alps for a couple of weeks. This year we are looking at Slovenia and Austria. The trip is great for both our novice and more advanced paddlers, and the scenery there is incredible for promotional images etc We are very keen to offer Divine some sort of promotional deal in return for helping us with our trip, perhaps providing funding for the fuel for the journey, or for the camping. We have a very active website, our own minibus which can be covered in stickers, we are likely to produce a video of the trip and we will be taking a lot of photos. If you would be interested in this, please email me at lmm211@exeter.ac.uk or give me a call on 07594939079. Thank you, I look forward to hearing from you!

  • 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).

  • 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?

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.
