WE BELIEVE THAT BUSINESS SHOULD BE ABOUT MORE THAN JUST MAKING MONEY, IT SHOULD BE ABOUT RESPONSIBILITY AND PUBLIC GOOD.

We’ve always believed in using profit for good. So in 1990 we set up The Body Shop Foundation, our charitable trust. Currently we make an annual donation of £650,000, as well as donating end-of-line stock for the Trust to sell.

Since we established the Foundation, we’ve donated over £11 million to more than 3,000 projects around the world.

The Foundation deliberately seeks out innovative projects working for social and environmental change, driven by enthusiastic, energetic groups at grass roots level. People who, because of the pioneering nature of their work, would find it hard to get conventional funding elsewhere.

Currently the Foundation is funding organisations working on education in Zambia, environmental conservation in Romania, as well as domestic violence initiatives across Europe and child trafficking in Asia.
