Assignment
The role of social responsibility is a critical part of facilitating a stakeholder orientation. The purpose of this assignment is to discuss how a business interacts with its stakeholders.
Theo Chocolate is a Seattle-based manufacturer whose founder Joe Whinney brought organic cocoa beans from Central America and Africa to use in the manufacturing of chocolate bars in 1994. While there, he recognized an injustice in the way that the land and farmers were being exploited and wanted to do something to make a difference.
View the Our Story and Our Cocoa Beans sections of Theo's web site, including the farmer supplier profiles and Segment 10: Theo Chocolate: Cocoa Industry in Congo (3 min 51 sec).
