More quotes by Anita Roddick
You've got so many groups that have no voice in this world - the indigenous, the poor. So how can I use the resources that I have and bring them up, highlight them. And it's not that difficult. It's just choosing and concentrating and focusing.
Anita Roddick
if companies are in business solely to make money, no consumer can fully trust what they do or say.
Anita Roddick
I think progress is a sort of comfortable disease, and we've got a media that says entertainment and celebrity, which isn't bad in itself but it stops the real issues coming forward.
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
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
To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.

It's about creating a product or service so good that people will pay for it. Now 30 years on The Body Shop is a multi local business with over 2.045 stores serving over 77 million customers in 51 different markets in 25 different languages and across 12 time zones. And I haven't a clue how we got here!
Anita Roddick
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Anita Roddick
There are only two ways of making money: the hard way and the very hard way!
Anita Roddick
Nobody talks of entrepreneurship as survival, but that's exactly what it is and what nurtures creative thinking.
Anita Roddick
There has been a real influence on young people, whose travel is experiential. For them, their values change when their experiences change travel is like a university without walls.
Anita Roddick
Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.
Anita Roddick
The predominant idea behind globalization, in its most virulent form, is an unpleasant kind of social Darwinism - that the world is for winners not losers, that only the successful count, that money is considerably more important than votes.
Anita Roddick
I can't bear to be around people who are bland or bored or uninterested (or to employ them).
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
There are 3 billion women in the world who don't look like supermodels and only 8 that do.
Anita Roddick
Corporate crime kills far more people and costs taxpayers far more money than street crime.
Anita Roddick
You have to look at leadership through the eyes of the followers and you have to live the message. What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
Anita Roddick
The market controls everything, but the market has no heart.
