Anita Roddick
All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.
Anita Roddick
The business of business should not be about money. It should be about responsibility. It should be about public good, not private greed
Anita Roddick
I have no interest in being the biggest, the most profitable or the largest retailer. I just want The Body Shop to be the best, most breathlessly exciting company - and one that changes the way business is carried out.
Anita Roddick
To run this business ... you need ... optimism, humanism, enthusiasm, intuition, curiosity, love, humour, magic and fun, and that secret ingredient-euph oria.
