"The Body Shop chain became a massive success selling "green" cosmetics as customers were becoming
environmentally aware. She leaves us with an enduring legacy which will long guide the affairs of The Body Shop. Roddick had said her business ethics were partly inspired by women's beauty rituals that she discovered while traveling in developing countries, and lessons that her mother passed on from life during the hard years of World War II.
Roddick's business opposed product testing on animals and tried to encourage development by purchasing materials from small communities in the Third World. According to AP reports, the Body Shop also invested in a wind farm in Wales as part of its campaign to support renewable energy, and it set up its own human rights award.
The Body Shop has grown into a global phenomenon with nearly 2,000 stores in 50 countries and remains independently run despite being owned by L'Oreal Group.
In recognition of Roddick's contribution to business and charity, Queen Elizabeth II made her a dame, the female equivalent of a knight, in 2003"
