    Rowntree historical review prompts trust apologies

    Research by the Rowntree Society reported possible historical links between the Rowntree business and the slave trade, as well as allegations of racial discrimination and anti-union tactics at its South African subsidiary Wilson Rowntree during apartheid. Rowntree Society said it found no evidence that Rowntree directly owned or traded enslaved people. Rowntree charitable trusts apologized for findings concerning their origins and announced support for further research.
