The philosophy of Divine stands out in the global business of chocolate making, where the temptation may be to pay the cheapest price for ingredients and deliver the highest return to directors.

As well as ensuring sustainable prices for cocoa, Divine provides additional income for investing in farming and community development. Here, a girl collects water from a well funded by Fairtrade social premiums in Domeabra. Photograph: Karen Robinson/Karen Robinson
