Business as Unusual

My Entrepeneurial Journey — Profits with Principles

Anita Roddick and the demands of ethical business:
Anita Roddick is one of the world's most outspoken, controversial and successful businesswomen. "Business as Unusual" turns the tables on the way society looks at business and outlines a movement towards greater corporate responsibility and accountability. The book charts the progress of Anita Roddick and her company, The Body Shop. She talks openly about the "greed culture" of the 90s, The Body Shop vs. Shell, Trade Not Aid (the pleasures and pitfalls of trading with indigenous communities), taking on the US, creating community both within and outside the workplace, how to campaign for human rights in the business environment and women in business. Ranging from personal issues – such as self-esteem – to wider political issues – like the human rights abuses associated with globalization – Roddick offers her own vision for dealing with the demands of ethical business. Roddick believes we should never underestimate the power of the individual to create change.
In this new second edition for the first time Roddick talks about her work beyond The Body Shop. She tackles a wide range of personal and political issues from self-esteem, to human rights abuses within the context of corporate behaviour, explaining that you can make a profit and make a positive contribution to the community; you can trade on a global scale and you can stick your neck out with campaigns for human rights, while opening scores of shops a year.
