Anita Roddick - a podcast by Bill Thompson

In 1976 a British business woman started a small business to sell skin and hair care products. 

But she also wanted it to reflect her ethics and values, including human rights, animal rights, and the environment. 

Anita Roddick called her business The Body Shop. 

Today The Body Shop has over 3,000 stores in 65 countries. But it is still loyal to Anita Roddick's ethics and values.

In 2001 Roddick wrote a book called Business As Unusual, a look back at the sometimes-turbulent ‘90s for The Body Shop.
