Theo Chocolate, Inc.
Joe Whinney exudes a sense of mission in everything he does. After a trip to cacao fan•ns in Central America, Whinney decided to build the first organic fair trade chocolate factory in the United States. By building the first sustainable chocolate maker in the nation, Whinney hoped to help solve social and environmental issues by operating a profitable and ethical business. While Theo Chocolate is finding good success in the organic foods industry, perhaps the most exciting thing for “Theonistas” is that the company is being hailed as a voice for change. Employees say they have gained a loyal following for their efforts in the developing world, and business success has opened up new opportunities for sharing their vision of a better world.
