Bodyshop Founder Dies


Farewell to Anita Roddick, the founder of Bodyshop, who has died suddenly at the age of 64.

She was an inspirational business women, philanthropist and environmental campaigner, who showed the world that it is possible to be both successful and ethical in business. In Britain shed led her support to a campaign to end animal testing in the cosmetics industry, which led to a change in the law.

After stepping down as director of Bodyshop she turned her attention to the human rights issues especially the treatment of women and the treatment of workers in developing countries and was major supporter of Amnesty International.


She never lost sight of her desire to make the world safer and fairer and it is a sad loss to loose somebody who had such drive, such passion and such principals
