Anita Roddick
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
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
If you pretend that business is beyond morality, that's the kind of morality you get.
Anita Roddick

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
Quite apart from anything else, my experience is trying to change things for the better makes you feel better, healthier. Humans are communicative animals: when you do good in a community, the benefits eventually get back to you.
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
Free trade holds much of the blame for continued international conflict. Markets are said to possess wisdom that is somehow superior to man. Those of us in business who travel in the developing world see the results of such western wisdom and have a rumbling disquiet about much of what our economic institutions have bought into.
Anita Roddick
The next time you go shopping, demand more change.
Anita Roddick
Women want to be free to choose from the same range of options that men take for granted. In our quest for equal pay, equal access to education and opportunities, we have made great strides. But until women can move freely and think freely in their homes, on the streets, in the workplace without the fear of violence, there can be no real freedom.
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
My mother's bottom line was truth to her values. It meant bringing your heart and your humanity to work.
Anita Roddick
if companies are in business solely to make money, no consumer can fully trust what they do or say.
