An inspiration, a hero, a role model.... Anita Roddick died yesterday
Anita Roddick, the founder of the Body Shop is one of the few people I could call either a hero, a role model or an inspiration to me. Way before people were talking about CSR she was doing it (1976) because it needed to be done for business reasons and for social and environmental reasons.
Her whole life has been devoted to issues she truly believes in and issues her company truly believes in. Lets just have hope in others like her and hope that there are many many more people like her still to come.
For Dame Anita, the truly exceptional entrepreneur, business and ethics came together. "Businesses have the power to do good," she wrote. "That's why The Body Shop's Mission Statement opens with the overriding commitment, 'To dedicate our business to the pursuit of social and environmental change.'" Capitalist with a Conscience

no offense abs, i'm sure you're a flat out ladykiller, but nothing tells a girl that you either don't know her very well or didn't put in the effort like buying her something from the body shop.
it's the equivelant of buying a guy a nondescript bottle of aftershave.
it screams "generic female gift"
