The movement for the environment really only started in the mid 1970's.
From Anita Roddick
The money that we make from the company goes into The Body Shop Foundation, which isn't one of those awful tax shelters like some in America. It just functions to take the money and give it away.
I didn't go to business school, didn't care about financial stuff and the stock market.
At The Body Shop we had always been measured by how many jobs we had created, and I got a major award from the Queen on that.
All through history, there have always been movements where business was not just about the accumulation of proceeds but also for the public good.
Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform, or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value.
