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.
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.

Every time you buy something consider it a vote of confidence in the company that produced it.

The freedom that comes with globalization is freedom for the rich and powerful nations to further exploit and further marginalize those at the bottom of the social ladder.
Anita Roddick
People don't want simply to buy the product, they want to have sympathy with the company too.
Anita Roddick
We are honest about our methods and our mistakes. We are not perfect - it isn't possible to be perfect - but we are trying to go in the right direction and in those circumstances, it's best not to mystify what we are trying to do.
Anita Roddick
Ninety-nine per cent of what we say is about values. I firmly believe that ethical capitalism is the best way of changing society for the better.
Anita Roddick
Make heroes out of the employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.

Why should how I act in my workplace be any different from how I interact with my family at home? It's making sure the company runs on feminine principles where the major ethic is care.
Anita Roddick
If you don't believe one person can make a difference, you have never been in bed with a mosquito.
