Ben Jablonski is the co-founder of The Good Charcoal.  The company's mission is good charcoal, good for the environment, good for the community.  Ben grew up in Australia where grilling was central to celebrations or gatherings.  In 2020, Ben wanted to give consumers a healthy charcoal alternative.  The Good Charcoal won a 2023 leadership award through the Forest Stewardship Council due to their sustainability efforts in Namibia. As a leader in building ethical organizations, Ben has been featured in The Washington Post, Yahoo!
