THE EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMME
BUY FOR GOOD: ENRICHING THE FUTURE
Sustainability has always been at the heart of The Body Shop. We believe that the planet and society need fully-committed responsible businesses, which enrich both the environment we live in and people including our customers, communities, employees and suppliers.
This belief underpins the business decisions we make including sourcing natural ingredients and accessories from economically vulnerable communities through our Community Fair Trade programme, local volunteering, campaigning and developing new, efficacious products which are all underpinned by sustainability.
In September 2019 we were thrilled to fulfil a life-long ambition to become a certified B Corp. We know that education is a powerful tool for changing the world. We want to use our knowledge to help future generations protect the environment and speak up for the causes they believe in.These free curriculum-linked resources have been created by teachers, for teachers, and have been developed for students aged 14+ years.
