Five executive directors of Green & Black's, the organic
chocolate brand beloved by foodiess,shared a £5m windfall
yesterday after CadburySchweppes swallowed it for an
undeisclosed sum. The group behind Dairy Milk and
Flake plan to run the company,in which it has had a 5%
stake since 2002,as an independent business. William
Kendal,the chief executive of G&B's,denied it was
abandoning its ethical roots. "If ethical trading is about
small business,then God help the world," he said.
