'''The Body Shop International Limited''', trading as '''the Body Shop''', is a British [[cosmetics]], [[skin care]], and [[perfume]] company founded in 1976 by [[Anita Roddick]], who opened her first store in Brighton, England. The company is now based in [[London Bridge]] and [[Littlehampton]], West Sussex,<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/fashion-blog/2011/nov/21/brief-history-of-body-shop |title=A brief history of The Body Shop |last=Chesters |first=Anna |date=21 November 2011 |work=The Guardian |access-date=4 February 2020 |issn=0261-3077}}</ref> and is currently owned by Auréa Group.<ref>{{cite web |last=Salian |first=Neesha |date=23 September 2024 |title=Auréa-led consortium finalises acquisition of The Body Shop |url=https://gulfbusiness.com/aurea-consortium-acquires-the-body-shop/ |access-date=9 November 2024}}</ref>

The Body Shop operated under the French cosmetics company [[L'Oréal]] between 2006 and 2017. In September 2017, L'Oréal sold it to Brazil's [[Natura & Co]] for £880 million.<ref name="Butler3">{{cite web |last=Butler |first=Sarah |title=L'Oréal to sell Body Shop to Brazil's Natura in €1bn deal |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2017/jun/09/loreal-body-shop-natura-aesop |website=The Guardian |date=9 June 2017 |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40417961 |title=Body Shop bought by Brazil's Natura |date=27 June 2017 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=4 February 2020}}</ref> In November 2023, Natura sold it to [[Aurelius Group|Aurelius]].<ref name=":1">{{cite news |date=14 November 2023 |title=The Body Shop changes hands again for £200m |publisher=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-67417591 |access-date=16 November 2023}}</ref>

On 13 February 2024, it was announced that Aurelius had put the UK business of the Body Shop into [[Administration in United Kingdom law|administration]], that the chain would close up to half of its 198 stores in the UK, and that the number of staff at the chain's head office would be reduced by 40%.<ref name="Butler">{{cite web |last1=Butler |first1=Sarah |last2=Davies |first2=Rob |title=The Body Shop collapses into administration in UK |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/13/the-body-shop-collapses-into-administration-in-uk |website=The Guardian |date=13 February 2024 |access-date=13 February 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Hooker |first=Lucy |title=The Body Shop to shut up to half of its UK stores |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-68347918 |publisher=BBC News |access-date=20 February 2024 |date=20 February 2024}}</ref> In March 2024, the company announced that it would shutter its operations in the United States and reorganize in Canada under bankruptcy protection.<ref name="Butler"/><ref name="Butler2">{{cite news |last=Butler |first=Sarah |title=The Body Shop files for bankruptcy in the US and Canada |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/mar/10/the-body-shop-files-for-bankruptcy-in-the-us-and-canada |access-date=10 March 2024 |work=The Guardian |date=10 March 2024}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Wile |first=Rob |title=The Body Shop shuts down in the U.S. after filing for bankruptcy |url=https://www.nbcnews.com/business/business-news/the-body-shop-store-shuts-down-where-why-rcna142790 |publisher=[[NBC News]] |access-date=2 June 2024 |date=11 March 2024}}</ref> The Body Shop was acquired by Auréa Group in September 2024.

==History==
An earlier Body Shop, unaffiliated with [[Anita Roddick]] or the Body Shop International Limited, was opened in Berkeley, California, in 1970, by Peggy Short and Jane Saunders.<ref>{{cite news |last=Bronstein |first=Zelda |date=3 February 2004 |title=Made in Berkeley: Berkeley's Body Time the original Body Shop |work=The Berkeley Daily Planet |url=https://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2004-02-03/article/18201 |access-date=28 May 2021}}</ref>

Roddick opened her own health and beauty store, named the Body Shop, in her hometown of [[Brighton]], UK, in 1976. Her motivation was to "make a living for herself and her two daughters while her husband was away travelling".<ref>{{Cite news |last=Hope |first=Katie |date=9 February 2017 |title=What went wrong for The Body Shop? |work=BBC News |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-38905530 |access-date=29 July 2020}}</ref>

The business's original vision was to sell products with ethically sourced, [[cruelty-free]], and natural ingredients. None of Roddick's products were tested on animals, and the ingredients were sourced directly from producers.<ref name="History of Body Shop">{{cite web |last=Chesters |first=Anna |title=A brief history of the Body Shop |url=https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/fashion-blog/2011/nov/21/brief-history-of-body-shop |website=The Guardian |date=21 November 2011 |access-date=15 June 2019}}</ref>

The store began trading with just 25 products. Roddick had purchased urine-sample bottles from a nearby hospital to sell her products in but did not have enough of them, creating the business's refillable bottles policy. Labels were handwritten, and Roddick did not advertise explicitly, using the local press instead.<ref name="encyclopedia.com">{{cite web |last=Gale |first=Thomson |title=The Body Shop International Plc |url=https://www.encyclopedia.com/social-sciences-and-law/economics-business-and-labor/businesses-and-occupations/body-shop-international-plc |website=encyclopedia.com |access-date=15 June 2019}}</ref>

In the late 1970s, Roddick's partner, Gordon, returned to Brighton from America and suggested the business foster growth through franchising. By 1984, the company had 138 stores, 87 of which were outside the UK. By 1994, 89% of the business's locations were franchises.<ref name="encyclopedia.com"/>

[[File:Body Shop Oulu 20130316.JPG|thumb|right|The Body Shop at [[Rotuaari]] in Oulu, Finland]]

The company went public in April 1984 and was floated on London's [[Unlisted Securities Market]], opening at a price of 95[[Penny (British decimal coin)|p]], with the Roddicks keeping 27.6% of shares in the company and Anita continuing as managing director so as to retain control of the company's direction. After it obtained a full listing on the [[London Stock Exchange]], share prices in the company increased dramatically, rising 10,944 percent in the first eight years.<ref name="encyclopedia.com"/>

In 1987, Roddick paid the owners of the original Body Shop in the US, Peggy Short and Jane Saunders, [[US$]]3.5 million for the exclusive rights to the brand name. The US company became Body Time in 1992;<ref name="Made in Berkeley">{{cite web |url=http://www.berkeleydailyplanet.com/issue/2004-02-03/article/18201?headline=Made-In-Berkeley-Berkeley-s-Body-Time-the-Original-Body-Shop |title=Made in Berkeley: Berkeley's Body Time the Original Body Shop.

In 1991, the Body Shop sued [[Bath & Body Works]] for allegedly copying its marketing, reaching a confidential [[out-of-court settlement]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Shapiro |first=Eben |title=The Sincerest Form of Rivalry |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1991/10/19/business/the-sincerest-form-of-rivalry.html |work=The New York Times |date=19 October 1991}}</ref>

Throughout the 1980s and 1990s, the company joined a number of campaigns related to social responsibility and environmental issues. These included a "Trade Not Aid" campaign in 1987, wherein the company sourced some of its ingredients directly from the native communities they originated from. The company also made alliances with [[Greenpeace]] and [[Amnesty International]].<ref name="encyclopedia.com"/>

===1994 ''Business Ethics'' exposé===
In September 1994, ''Business Ethics'' magazine published an investigative article entitled "Shattered Image: Is The Body Shop Too Good to Be True?", written by [[Jon Entine]], on the company's practices.<ref name="Entine">{{cite journal |last=Entine |first=Jon |title=Shattered Image |journal=Business Ethics: The Magazine of Corporate Responsibility |date=1 September 1994 |volume=8 |issue=5 |pages=23–28 |doi=10.5840/bemag19948558 |url=https://www.pdcnet.org/bemag/content/bemag_1994_0008_0005_0023_0028 |access-date=21 February 2024|url-access=subscription }}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Entine |first=Jon |title=The Body Shop File: Beyond "Shattered Image" |url=http://archives.jonentine.com/the-body-shop.html |access-date=21 February 2024 |work=Jon Entine}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |last=Stevenson |first=Richard W. |title=Market Place; Body Shop's Green Image Is Attacked |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/02/business/market-place-body-shop-s-green-image-is-attacked.html |archive-url=https://archive.today/20120720124228/http://www.nytimes.com/1994/09/02/business/market-place-body-shop-s-green-image-is-attacked.html |archive-date=20 July 2012 |access-date=21 February 2024 |work=[[The New York Times]] |date=2 September 1994}}</ref> Entine reported that Anita Roddick had copied the name, store design, marketing concept, and most product line ideas from the earlier American Body Shop.<ref name="Entine"/>

===2000s and 2010s===
In March 2006, the Body Shop agreed to a £652.3 million takeover by [[L'Oréal]]. The Roddicks made £130 million from the sale.<ref>{{cite news |title=L'Oreal buys Body Shop for £652m |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/news/l-oreal-buys-body-shop-for-pound-652m-6106519.html |access-date=22 February 2024 |work=[[The Independent]] |date=17 March 2006}}</ref>

The takeover caused some media controversy, particularly surrounding L'Oréal's use of animal testing. Although L'Oréal itself ceased animal testing in 1989,<ref name="Animal Testing">{{cite web |title=The Question of Animal Testing |url=https://www.loreal.com/sustainability/l'or%C3%A9al-answers/the-question-of-animal-testing |website=L'Oréal |publisher=L'Oréal Group |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref> the company had begun selling its products in China in 1997,<ref name="China and L'Oreal">{{cite web |title=L'Oreal celebrates 20 years in China |url=https://mediaroom.loreal.com/en/loreal-celebrates-20-years-in-china/ |website=L'Oreal Media Room |publisher=L'Oreal Group |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref> where the law required cosmetics to be tested on animals before sale to the public.{{Citation needed|date=June 2024}} Roddick stated that she believed the takeover could allow her to be a "Trojan Horse" within the larger company, working through the Body Shop to improve its standards on animal testing and environmental issues.<ref>{{cite web |last=Cahalane |first=Claudia |title=Interview: Anita Roddick, Body Shop founder |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2006/nov/03/ethicalliving.environment |website=The Guardian |date=3 November 2006 |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref>

In September 2007, Roddick died following a major [[brain haemorrhage]].<ref name="Roddick Obituary">{{cite web |title=Anita Roddick dies aged 64 |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2007/sep/10/ethicalliving.lifeandhealth |website=The Guardian |date=10 September 2007 |access-date=30 June 2019}}</ref>

In 2017, L'Oréal sold the Body Shop to Brazilian cosmetics company [[Natura & Co|Natura]] for £880 million (€1 billion).<ref name="Butler3"/> At the time, the company was one of the world's largest cosmetics chains, with 3,200 stores and 17,000 employees in 66 countries.<ref name="Schipani"/><ref>{{cite news |title=Body Shop bought by Brazil's Natura |url=https://www.bbc.com/news/business-40417961 |access-date=2 June 2024 |work=[[BBC News]] |date=27 June 2017}}</ref>

The Body Shop received its [[B Corporation (certification)|B-Corp]] certification in 2019.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2019/09/the-body-shop-b-corp-global-sustainability-environment/ |title=The Body Shop joins B Corp in pledging further sustainability efforts |last=Wright |first=Georgia |date=24 September 2019 |website=Retail Gazette |access-date=30 September 2019}}</ref>

===Aurelius takeover and Auréa Group===
In November 2023, Natura sold the Body Shop to [[Aurelius Group|Aurelius]], a German private equity group, for £207 million ($254.32 million).<ref name=":2">{{cite news |date=14 November 2023 |title=Brazil's Natura sells The Body Shop to Aurelius in $254 mln deal|work=Reuters |url=https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/brazils-natura-sells-body-shop-aurelius-254-mln-deal-2023-11-14/ |access-date=16 November 2023}}</ref> The deal came as part of Natura's [[Layoff|downsizing]] strategy after its sale of Aesop to L'Oréal for $2.5 billion earlier in the year.<ref>{{cite web |last=Douglass |first=Rachel |title=Natura mulls The Body Shop sale months after Aesop |url=https://fashionunited.uk/news/business/natura-mulls-the-body-shop-sale-months-after-aesop/2023082971289 |website=[[FashionUnited]] |access-date=2 June 2024 |date=29 August 2023}}</ref>

At the time, it was suggested that Aurelius had "grabbed itself a bargain" and Aurelius predicted rapid growth for the company.<ref>{{cite web |last=Faithfull |first=Mark |title=Aurelius Buys The Body Shop From Natura In Cut Price Deal |url=https://www.forbes.com/sites/markfaithfull/2023/11/14/aurelius-buys-the-body-shop-from-natura-in-cut-price-deal/ |website=Forbes |access-date=2 June 2024 |date=14 November 2023}}</ref> However, following the sale, Aurelius experienced financial challenges and lapses during its due diligence, resulting in the departure of its managing director, who had spearheaded the deal.<ref>{{cite web |last=Barr |first=Luke |title=Dealmaker behind disastrous Body Shop buyout makes abrupt exit |url=https://finance.yahoo.com/news/dealmaker-behind-disastrous-body-shop-155908729.html |website=[[Yahoo!

On 7 September 2024, the Body Shop's British business and all its trademarks were acquired by Auréa Group, a consortium led by Mike Jatania and Charles Denton, who became its executive chair and CEO, respectively.<ref>{{cite web |date=7 September 2024 |title=The Body Shop rescued from administration by Auréa Group |url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cx2lzjlg182o |access-date=24 October 2024 |publisher=BBC News}}</ref>

On 15 February 2024, Aurelius put the Body Shop's UK division into [[Administration (law)|administration]] and hired the business advisory firm [[FRP Advisory]] as administrators to help the company through the procedure.<ref name="Butler"/><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.afaqs.com/news/brands/the-body-shop-enters-bankruptcy-hires-insolvency-practitioners|title=The Body Shop enters bankruptcy, hires insolvency practitioners|date=14 February 2024|access-date=15 February 2024|website=AFAQS}}</ref> This followed Aurelius' failure to secure a line of credit for the company after its takeover when [[HSBC]] withdrew a prior line of credit negotiated under Natura's ownership.<ref>{{cite web |last=King |first=Austyn |title=The Body Shop's downfall triggered by failing to secure credit |url=https://cosmeticsbusiness.com/the-body-shop-s-downfall-triggered-by-failing-to |website=Cosmetics Business |access-date=2 June 2024 |date=27 April 2024}}</ref> In administration, it was reported that the UK division owed over £276 million to creditors, of which about £143 million was owed to other parts of the group.<ref name="Butler4">{{cite news |last=Butler |first=Sarah |title=The Body Shop owed more than £276m to creditors at time of collapse |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/apr/05/the-body-shop-debts-suppliers-landlords-trade-creditors-administration |access-date=5 April 2024 |work=The Guardian |date=5 April 2024}}</ref> After restructuring, 82 UK stores were closed and 489 jobs were lost, with a further 329 jobs axed at the company's head office.<ref name="Butler4"/><ref>{{cite web |last=Kollewe |first=Julia |title=The Body Shop to close 75 stores across UK and cut hundreds of jobs |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2024/feb/29/the-body-shop-close-stores-uk-cut-hundreds-jobs |website=The Guardian |access-date=29 February 2024 |date=29 February 2024}}</ref>

On 16 February 2024, just one day after the UK division went insolvent, the Body Shop Germany collapsed into administration and announced that all 60 stores were to be closed within the coming months.

==Multilevel marketing channels==
{{More citations needed|section|date=June 2024}}

In addition to retail channels, products from the Body Shop were available through the "Body Shop at Home" [[multilevel marketing]] network, established in 1994.<ref name=":0">{{cite news |title=New Body Shop boss talks for first time on brand revamp |last=Holland |first=Tiffany |date=5 April 2012 |work=Retail Week}}{{full|date=June 2024}}</ref>{{full|date=June 2024}} The multilevel marketing program was known as "the Body Shop Direct" in Britain and was first trialled in Australia in [[Gippsland]] in 1997.<ref>{{cite news |title=A beauty business with more hope than hype |last=Dabkowski |first=Stephen |date=20 October 1997 |work=BRW |page=70}}{{full|date=June 2024}}</ref>{{full|date=June 2024}} Distributors (or consultants) could also recruit others to sell the products.<ref>{{cite news |title=Body Shop targets homes |date=30 April 2004 |work=The Times (United Kingdom) |page=27}}{{full|date=June 2024}}</ref>{{full|date=June 2024}} In 1998, the Australian division was featured in ''[[Australian Financial Review]]'' for its motivational-based policy of funding unrelated courses for home distributors, such as [[French polish]]ing and [[Tarot card reading|tarot reading]].<ref>{{cite news |title=Belly dancing and tarot cards: learn on the job |last=Hepworth |first=Annabel |date=5 June 1998 |work=The Australian Financial Review |page=54}}{{full|date=June 2024}}</ref>{{full|date=June 2024}}

==Social activism==
The Body Shop long held aims of social activism as part of its business practices. Roddick herself took on gradually more critical views of both business broadly and the cosmetics industry in particular, criticising what she considered the environmental insensitivity of the industry and its traditional views of beauty, and aimed to change standard corporate practices through her brand.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www1.umn.edu/humanrts/links/bodycode.html|title=The Bodyshop, Inc|work=University of Minnesota Human Rights Library|access-date=24 October 2023}}</ref>

In 1997, Roddick launched a global campaign to raise self-esteem in women and against the media stereotyping of women. It focused on unreasonably thin models in the context of rising numbers of [[Bulimia nervosa|bulimia]] and [[Anorexia nervosa|anorexia]].<ref>{{Cite news |last=Elliott |first=Stuart |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1997/08/26/business/the-body-shop-s-campaign-offers-reality-not-miracles.html |title=The Body Shop's campaign offers reality, not miracles. |date=26 August 1997 |work=The New York Times |access-date=20 April 2020 |issn=0362-4331}}{{subscription required|date=February 2024}}</ref>

===Community Trade===
Launched in 1987, the Body Shop's Community Trade programme was based on the practice of trading with communities in need and giving them a fair price for natural ingredients or handcrafts, including [[Brazil nut]] oil, [[Sesame oil|sesame seed oil]], honey, and [[shea butter]]. The first Community Trade product was a wooden [[Foam roller|roller]], supplied by a small community in [[South India|southern India]], Teddy Exports, which continued to be a key Community Trade supplier.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thebodyshopinternational.com/Values%20and%20Campaigns/Our%20Values/Support%20Community%20Trade/Home.htm |title=The Body Shop – Natural Products Inspired by Nature}} {{Deadlink|date=March 2024|fix-attempted=yes}}</ref>

[[Fair trade]] activists have criticised the programme: "The company...displayed claims...to pay fairer prices to the Third World poor but covered less than a fraction of 1 percent of its turnover", wrote [[Paul Vallely]], the former chair of Traidcraft, in the obituary for Anita Roddick published in ''[[The Independent]]''.<ref>{{cite web |title=Dame Anita Roddick |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/dame-anita-roddick-402053.html |website=The Independent |access-date=6 August 2020 |date=11 September 2007}}</ref>

The Body Shop regularly invited employees and stakeholders to visit Community Trade suppliers to see the benefits that the programme has brought to communities and Body Shop products.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.thisischeshire.co.uk/news/4697356.Nicola_will_be_no_stranger_to_fair_trade/ |title=Nicola will be no stranger to fair trade (From This Is Cheshire) |date=22 October 2009 |publisher=Thisischeshire.co.uk |access-date=9 December 2011 |archive-date=23 July 2011 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110723032719/http://www.thisischeshire.co.uk/news/4697356.Nicola_will_be_no_stranger_to_fair_trade/ |url-status=dead}}</ref>

As part of the Community Trade programme, the Body Shop undertook periodic [[social audits]] of its sourcing activities through [[ECOCERT|Ecocert]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://valuesreport.thebodyshop.net |title=The Body Shop Values Report |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20061109061952/http://valuesreport.thebodyshop.net/ |archive-date=9 November 2006 |url-status=dead}}</ref>

A campaign by [[Christian Peacemaker Team]] protested the alleged role of the Body Shop in purchasing [[palm oil]] from Daabon, a third-party supplier in [[Colombia]], who forcefully evicted 123 families from their land at [[Las Pavas]] on 14 July 2009.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://soundcloud.com/themennonite/episode-19-sarah-thompson-on-charlottesville-cpt-and-confrontational-nonviolence |title=Episode 19: Sarah Thompson on Charlottesville, CPT and confrontational nonviolence |website=soundcloud.com}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CnW1O6mfxnU |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211118/CnW1O6mfxnU |archive-date=18 November 2021 |url-status=live |title=Christian Peacemaker Teams public witness at The Body Shop outlets in London |last=CPTDeutschland |date=2 November 2009 |via=YouTube}}{{cbignore}}</ref> The Body Shop initially denied intentionally purchasing palm oil from the area<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.com/shelley-simmons/post_849_b_717838.html |title=A Commitment to Colombia: The Body Shop's Solution for Palm Oil Sourcing |first=Shelley |last=Simmons |date=15 September 2010 |website=HuffPost}}</ref> but later dropped Daabon as a supplier after the company failed to provide proof that it was not involved in the land seizures.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/business/2010/oct/03/body-shop-palm-oil-supplier |title=Body Shop drops supplier after report of peasant evictions in Colombia |first1=Rajeev |last1=Syal |first2=Sibylla |last2=Brodzinsky |date=2 October 2010 |website=The Guardian}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://terra0nullius.wordpress.com/2010/10/10/the-body-shop-drops-colombian-palm-oil-supplier-for-alleged-land-grabbing/ |title=The Body Shop drops Colombian palm oil supplier for alleged land grabbing |date=10 October 2010 |website=wordpress.com}}</ref>

===Policy on animal testing===
{{see also|Testing cosmetics on animals}}

The Body Shop has campaigned to end [[animal testing]] in cosmetics alongside animal cruelty NGO [[Cruelty Free International]] (CFI) since 1989. The company's products are non-animal tested and are certified cruelty-free by CFI's Leaping Bunny logo.<ref name="auto">{{Cite news |url=http://www.leapingbunny.org/guide/brands?title=the+body+shop&field_lb_cosmetics_tid=All&field_lb_animal_care_tid=All&field_lb_household_products_tid=All&field_lb_personal_care_tid=All |title=Leaping Bunny Approved Brands |work=Leaping Bunny |access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref>

In June 2017, the Body Shop and CFI launched Forever Against Animal Testing, its largest-ever campaign, aimed at banning animal testing in cosmetics everywhere and forever.<ref>{{cite web |author=Wallwork, Ellen |year=2017 |title=The Body Shop Launches Campaign for a Global Ban on Cosmetic Animal Testing |url=https://www.huffingtonpost.co.uk/entry/the-body-shop-forever-against-animal-testing_uk_592e82dde4b055a197ce47d3 |work=HuffPost |access-date=29 January 2021}}</ref>

In October 2009, the Body Shop received a lifetime achievement award from the [[Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals|RSPCA]] in Britain, in recognition of its uncompromised policy, which ensures ingredients are not tested on animals by its suppliers.{{citation needed|date=April 2022}}

In 2021, the Body Shop announced that all its products would be certified vegan by [[the Vegan Society]] as of the end of 2023.<ref>{{cite news |last=Snoeck |first=Jorg |title=The Body Shop wants to be 100% vegan by 2023 |url=https://www.retaildetail.eu/news/beauty-care/body-shop-wants-be-100-vegan-2023/ |access-date=23 February 2024 |work=RetailDetail EU |date=3 June 2021}}</ref> The process was completed in January 2024.<ref>{{cite web |last=Morgan |first=Aoife |date=3 January 2024 |title=The Body Shop becomes first global beauty brand to receive 100% vegan certification |url=https://www.retailgazette.co.uk/blog/2024/01/the-body-shop-certified/ |access-date=29 May 2024 |website=Retail Gazette}}</ref>

===The Body Shop Foundation===
The Roddicks founded the Body Shop Foundation in 1990, which supports global projects working in the areas of human and [[civil rights]] and environmental and animal protection.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://thebodyshopfoundation.org |title=The Body Shop Foundation |publisher=The Body Shop Foundation |access-date=9 December 2011 |archive-date=5 February 2019 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190205042143/https://thebodyshopfoundation.org/ |url-status=dead }}</ref> The foundation was formed to consolidate all the charitable donations made by the company. To date, it has donated over £24 million in grants. The foundation regularly gives gift-in-kind support to various projects and organisations, such as [[Children on the Edge]].<ref>{{cite web |url=http://childrenontheedge.org |title=Home |publisher=Children on the Edge |access-date=8 April 2018}}</ref>

In 2017, the Body Shop announced its new approach to corporate philanthropy, the World Bio-Bridges Mission (Re-Wilding the World), whose purpose is to increase biodiversity around the world while creating sustainable supply chains where possible.<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.thebodyshop.com/en-gb/about-us/our-commitment/bio-bridges/world-bio-bridges-mission |title=World Bio Bridges Mission {{!}} The Body Shop |website=www.thebodyshop.com |access-date=29 January 2018}}</ref>{{Self-published inline|certain=yes|date=July 2020}}
