Anita RoddickThe Body Shop Foundation is run by our staff and supports social activism and environmental activism. We don't tend to support big agencies.
Anita RoddickI started The Body Shop in 1976 simply to create a livelihood for myself and my two daughters, while my husband, Gordon, was trekking across the Americas. I had no training or experience and my only business acumen was Gordon's advice to take sales of ยฃ300 a week. Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Anita RoddickPeople I work with are open to leadership that has a vision, but this vision has to be communicated clearly and persuasively, and always, always with passion.
