Whats in the pack
Divine Chocolate
fairtrade chocolate goodness
Divine are a female-led social enterprise that supports predominantly female Coco farmers through fair trade, education, and environmental support. Divine chocolate has been palm-oil free since 2013 and has taken a leadership role in conserving the rainforest areas of West Africa
In the early 1990s, changes in the cocoa market in Ghana prompted Nana Frimpong Abebrese (Divines founder) to begin creating a farmer-owned company to help farmers sell their cocoa. Nana was a visionary farmer representative and independent representative of COCOBOD (a Ghanaian government-controlled institution that fixes the buying price for cocoa in Ghana).
Nana and a group of other farmers found ways to ensure the company’s net gains would belong to farmers. Nana guaranteed that farmers would be paid in cash, and fair trade premiums could be invested in social programs.
This bar demonstrates the best of ethical chocolate for you to share with your family!

Ethstat Tree Pen
Plant a pen save a tonne
Originally designed for and used to sign the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio that laid the groundwork for the fight against Climate Change – our Ethstat Tree Pen is made in Europe from bio-cornstarch and recycled paper and is 100% biodegradable. Once you’ve used it you can plant it and grow a tree and save up to one tonne of CO2 for every pen you use.
Our Ethstat Tree Pen is unique to us here in the UK and we are the only distributors. Having worked tirelessly for over 6 months to create it, we think this pen is a gamechanger. Most plastic pens are made from single use plastic and many are unrecyclable. If you think about just how many pens we get through during the working week alone, the carbon footprint attributed to them is alarming and unnecessary.
Fairtrade Cotton Bag
helping whole communities
The AVOVE Bag is made in India by a cooperative that gives women highly paid work, in line with our own Higher Living Wage. It is almost the exact opposite of the stereotypes you would have of far eastern garment making. Instead, this factory is sustainable, ethical and compliant with the highest levels of certification.
The factory is more than just a place of work; it is at the centre of a community. The wages allow the women that work there the opportunity to support their children throughout their schooling and live a decent life.
