LIVING OUR VALUES
Values repOrt 2009
RESPONSIBLE SOURCINg
review how to engage with our palm oil supply chain outside of the roundtable for sustainable palm Oil (rspO) and extend
our rspO commitments to include all products, which include traceable palm oil.
assess the feasibility of supporting emerging environmental concerns.
develop a formal Community trade model to ensure support to organisations that strengthen marginalised farmers’ ability to
access markets.
developing a share system similar to ‘divine’, where kuapa kokoo received 14% of the shares from the body shop and then
shared the retail profits across those farmers involved with the cooperative.
focus less on compliance and more on reviewing supplier relationships to ensure that suppliers are treated as partners and
helped to improve conditions for workers.
AgAINST ANImAL TESTINg
discuss with l’Oréal the opportunity to make a joint statement committing to the end of all animal testing in cosmetics.
review the possibility of future campaigns and brand communications focusing on celebrating the body shop against
animal testing achievements.
We listened to the panel carefully and have already responded to some of their suggestions. We will report again against these
recommendations when the panel meets again later in 2009.
