My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.

You can't change t he wor ld f rom t he rear view mir ror.

What we are trying to do is to create a new business paradigm, simply showing that business can have a human face and a social conscience.

If trade undermines life, narrows it or impoverishes it, then it can destroy the world. If it enhances life, then it can better the world.

the leaders of globalization ... have tied themselves to a single measurement by which they judge success and failure ... They only measure money and the bottom line.

The money that we make from the company goes into The Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.

How can you ennoble the spirit when you are selling something as inconsequential as a face cream?
