Week 3 EOC: Making Money for Good

It's amazing when companies or even rich people give out to those who are in need. It's rare to find it in companies who give out for good will, but other companies give out to make their company look good. The Body Shop is a British cosmetics and skin care company owned by L'Oréal. Like many who don't know. Not only does The Body Shop have standard beliefs such as: animal protection, human rights, and environmental protection, but The Body Shop has 25 Community Fair Trade suppliers which they all give back to. For example, The Body Shop uses Hemp seeds for many of it's products like their Hemp hand lotion, Hemp Chapstick, and Hemp Body Lotion. Many small family farms in England have been taken over by large agribusiness, making it harder for these farmers to earn a living from traditional crops. Diversifying into an alternative crop like hemp is helping small farmers to earn a living and helping to create job opportunities in the local economy.
