Enough has been written about Anita in the last week. She will be remembered as one of the most influential women in business. She proved that ethics makes good business. So I thought I’d leave the last word to her. A few quotes she said that should make us all think.
“If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.”
“I want to work for a company that contributes to and is part of the community. I want something not just to invest in. I want something to believe in.”
“To succeed you have to believe in something with such
a passion that it becomes a reality.”
“If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.”
“I am still looking for the modern equivalent of those Quakers who ran successful businesses, made money because they offered honest products and treated their people decently.
This business creed, sadly, seems long forgotten.”
“I hope to leave my children a sense of empathy and pity and a will to right social wrongs”
Anita Roddick 1942-2007
