More quotes by Anita Roddick
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!

Don't underestimate the power of the vigilante consumer.
Anita Roddick
Never feel too small or powerless to make a difference.
Anita Roddick
You educate people, especially young people, by stirring their passions, so you take every opportunity to grab the imagination of your employees, you get them to feel they are doing something important, that they are not a lone voice, that they are the most powerful and potent people on the planet.
Anita Roddick
If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.
Anita Roddick
Irritation is a great source of energy and creativity.
Anita Roddick
People I work with are open to leadership that has a vision, but this vision has to be communicated clearly and persuasively, and always, always with passion.
Anita Roddick
But if you can create an honorable livelihood, where you take your skills and use them and you earn a living from it, it gives you a sense of freedom and allows you to balance your life the way you want.

Since the governments are in the pockets of businesses, who's going to control this most powerful institution? Business is more powerful than politics, and it's more powerful than religion. So it's going to have to be the vigilante consumer.
Anita Roddick
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
One of the key problems of the business world is that greed has become culturally acceptable.
Anita Roddick
I think the leadership of a company should encourage the next generation not just to follow, but to overtake.
Anita Roddick
I believe in businesses where you engage in creative thinking, and where you form some of your deepest relationships. If it isn't about the production of the human spirit, we are in big trouble.
Anita Roddick
The trouble with the new world we have watched being created over the past decade is that it sees no further than money. People have always been obsessed with money, of course - greed is as old as history. But when the institutions that govern all our lives forget there was ever anything else, then it gets dangerous.
Anita Roddick
By definition, design, and practice, capitalism is a system that concentrates economic power in the hands of the few to the exclusion of the many.
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
Communication is the key for any global business.
Anita Roddick
Every time you buy something consider it a vote of confidence in the company that produced it.
Anita Roddick
Be special. Be anything but mediocre.
Anita Roddick
Economic globalization creates wealth, but only for the elite who benefit from the surge of consolidations, mergers, global scale technology, and financial activity.
