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
Image
business itself is now the most powerful force for change in the world today, richer and faster by far than most governments. And what is it doing with this power? It is using free trade, the most powerful weapon at its disposal, to tighten its grip on the globe.

Image
the function of wealth is not to accumulate it but to give it away as productively and responsibly as you can.
Anita Roddick
Image
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.

If I had to choose my driving force, it would be passion.

If civilization is going to survive, business and policy-makers must move on, to find within themselves more developed emotions than fear or greed.

Image
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
Image
To me the desire to create and to have control over your own life, irrespective of the politics of the time or social structures, has always been a part of the human spirit. What I did not fully realize was that work could open the doors to my heart.

Image
We should be evolving into a new age of business with a worldview that maintains one simple proposition - that all of nature: humans, animals, earth, are interconnected and interdependent.

My passionate belief is that business can be fun, it can be conducted with love and a powerful force for good.
