Discover more about The Body Shop®
http://www.bodyshop.com

The Body Shop® believes that business has the power to make the right kind of difference to the world. This principle allows our customers around the world become "activists," simply by choosing from our range of products. As Dame Anita Roddick said: "Activism isn't listed on The Body Shop® labels as an ingredient, but it is there as surely as the bergamot and hemp oil."

Here are examples of just some of the initiatives our customers have recently supported:

* We became the first cosmetics company to source sustainably harvested palm oil and introduce the ingredient into the beauty industry, working in partnership with a certified organic producer in Colombia, in 2007.

* In early 2008 we introduced 100% PCR bottles (post consumer recycled) while all our PET bottles (polyethylene terephthalate) currently contain at the minimum 30% recycled material, with a target to convert to 100% within the next 12 months.

* Our unique Community Trade program creates sustainable trading relationships with disadvantaged communities around the world and provides essential income to more than 25,000 people across the globe.

* The Body Shop® continues to raise awareness and funding for women across the world affected by domestic violence in 2008. Our Stop Violence In The Home campaign runs in more than 55 countries and has raised in excess of US$4 million.

* In 2008 we continued to raise awareness of HIV and AIDS among young people, working with MTV Networks International. This campaign funds the Staying Alive Foundation, a grass roots organization supporting young people internationally.

* We have committed to becoming Carbon Neutral by 2010, ensuring that carbon dioxide emissions from the company's core retail business worldwide are reduced.

* We're committed to trading ethically - our sourcing team is trained in ethical audits and we only trade with suppliers who are committed to our Code of Conduct for Suppliers.
