John Cadbury, the founder of the Cadbury chocolate company, was a Quaker.
Quakers are members of the Religious Society of Friends, a Christian denomination that emphasizes inner light, equality, and social justice.
John Cadbury's Quaker beliefs influenced his business practices. He:
- Paid his workers fair wages.
- Provided good working conditions.
- Supported social causes.
The Cadbury family continued to be involved in Quaker activities after John's death. They established the Cadbury Trust, which supports various charitable causes.
Today, Cadbury is a global brand, but its Quaker heritage continues to influence the company's values.
