絕代風華:Body Shop創辦人過世
Dame Anita Roddick dies aged 64
Dame Anita brought ethically-sourced products to the High Street
Founder of ethical cosmetics firm Body Shop, Dame Anita Roddick, has died at the age of 64.
安妮塔‧羅迪克 (Anita Perella Roddic),美體小舖(The Body SHop)的創辦人,幾乎每個談論企業社會責任的人都熟悉的當代人物,已於日前過世。既使從商場上退休,她甚而更為積極投入公益事務,成立網站,協助國際特赦組織的相關人權活動。
如同BBC新聞下的標題,她將企業倫理轉變成了主流的商業語言。她所展現的行事典範,已經是難以超越的標竿。除了孟加拉的尤努斯,當代有幾個企業家,會被人們以這樣的方式懷念呢?也許,認為「消滅貧窮,就是最大的市場」的溫世仁?
企業,也可以成為積極改善世界的力量;Anita的這個精神遺產,正邀請著新一代的社會企業家,去繼承,去超越......
