Find out moreWHY WE DO IT
We do it because we were founded on the core belief that business must be a force for good. It drives everything we do and we’re pretty good at it. In 35 years, we’ve helped eradicate animal testing in the cosmetics industry in Europe, championed the changing of laws on domestic violence and brought awareness and funding to the HIV crisis. We’ve campaigned against human trafficking, the burning of the rainforest and human rights abuses in the Niger Delta. Find out what else we’ve campaigned on.
Pretty good going for a brand that sells shampoo.
