You can't change t he wor ld f rom t he rear view mir ror.
Anita Roddick
My mother's bottom line was truth to her values. It meant bringing your heart and your humanity to work.
Anita Roddick
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
Anita Roddick
If you've got a partner that's supportive and you're doing something you enjoy it doesn't ever become a job or a burden. Its about community, new friendships, support mechanism.
Anita Roddick
Traditionally, the role of the individual was to conform to the organization. In the future the organization will have to conform to the needs of the individual.
Anita Roddick
There are a lot of dark sides to success, but the light side of it is the ability to be opportunistic, and to be able to do things.
Anita Roddick
I don't want our success to be measured only by financial yardsticks, or by our distribution or number of shops. What I want to be celebrated for - and it's going to be tough in a business environment - is how good we are to our employees and how we benefit our community. It's a different bottom line.
Anita Roddick
I traveled enormously during the 1960's, when you measured everything by where you traveled and what you did as travelers.
Anita Roddick
business itself is now the most powerful force for change in the world today, richer and faster by far than most governments. And what is it doing with this power? It is using free trade, the most powerful weapon at its disposal, to tighten its grip on the globe.
Anita Roddick
Internationalism means that we can see into the dark corners of the world, and hold those companies to account when they are devastating forests or employing children as bonded labour. Globalization is the complete opposite, its rules pit country against country and workers against workers in the blinkered pursuit of international competitiveness.
Anita Roddick
For me, campaigning and good business is also about putting forward solutions, not just opposing destructive practices or human rights abuses.
Anita Roddick
Retiring isn't even a word I'd understand. Taking what makes you feel alive, and everyone's looking for ways of making them feel alive, in whatever they do - relationships, business or work - and not just being a voice for a money making business.
Anita Roddick
When your back is against the wall financially, creative juices flow.
Anita Roddick
We have our values from the church, the temple, the mosque. Do not rob, do not murder. But our behaviour changes the minute we go into the corporate place. Suddenly all of this is irrelevant.
Anita Roddick
We should be evolving into a new age of business with a worldview that maintains one simple proposition - that all of nature: humans, animals, earth, are interconnected and interdependent.
Anita Roddick
I'd have opened a bloody library if I'd wanted to be quiet.
Anita Roddick
I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses and made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently . . . This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.
Anita Roddick
Corporate crime kills far more people and costs taxpayers far more money than street crime.

The Body Shop Foundation is run by our staff and supports social activism and environmental activism. We don't tend to support big agencies.
