More quotes by Anita Roddick
With fewer and fewer corporations controlling more and more of the world's trade, there is an ever greater need to know more about the practices of these large faceless organizations.
Anita Roddick
I don't think I'm a risk-taker. I don't think any entrepreneur is. I think that's one of those myths of commerce. The new entrepreneur is more values-led: you do what looks risky to other people because that's what your convictions tell you to do. Other companies would say I'm taking risks, but that's my path - it doesn't feel like risk to me.
Anita Roddick
I think that business practices would improve immeasurably if they were guided by feminine pinciples, qualities like love, care, and intuition.

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.

Women are storytellers, they are communicators. They'll go and sit around a table and talk about their first date, their first smoke, their first lipstick, whatever it is. Those rituals of life, marriages and death aren't part of the language of men.
Anita Roddick
The big question is: how do you institutionalize success and still keep that edge of craziness and wildeness?
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
There is no scientific answer for success. You can't define it. You've simply got to live it and do it.
Anita Roddick
My argument is: keep the bloody bottom line at the bottom. That's where it should be.
Anita Roddick
Globalization ... is the most important change in the history of mankind, and often just the latest name for the conspiracy of the rich against the poor.
Anita Roddick
If you really didn't ever want to get wrinkles, then you should have stopped smiling years ago!
Anita Roddick
Every time you buy something consider it a vote of confidence in the company that produced it.
Anita Roddick
Be daring. Be first. Be different.
Anita Roddick
Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.
Anita Roddick
Quite apart from anything else, my experience is trying to change things for the better makes you feel better, healthier. Humans are communicative animals: when you do good in a community, the benefits eventually get back to you.
Anita Roddick
I have always found that my view of success has been iconoclastic: success to me is not about money or status or fame, its about finding a livelihood that brings me joy and self-sufficiency and a sense of contributing to the world.
