Business as a force for social good

Stop Sex TraffickingWe have seen and written about numerous examples of businesses that leverage their influence on the public for the benefit of a social cause. One business which has always stood out from the crowd is The Body Shop. Founded in 1976 by Dame Anita Roddick in England, The Body Shop has always stood for ethical business and been a model organization for giving back and supporting causes which help make the world a better place.

Common Soles is fully in support of The Body Shop's latest initiaitve in aiding ECPAT USA and the Somaly Mam Foundation in an effort to stop the sex trafficking of children and young people.

For more information on how you can get involved visit The Body Shop website to sign the petition!
