About this Quote

This quote by Anita Roddick talks to the idea that businesses have an obligation to the general public great, not just to their own earnings. Throughout history, there have actually been movements that have actually sought to utilize business as a tool for social modification. This might be seen in the labor motion of the 19th century, which looked for to enhance working conditions and wages for workers, or in the civil liberties motion of the 20th century, which looked for to end racial discrimination. These motions show that businesses can be utilized to create favorable change in society, not simply to generate income. This quote is a tip that companies should make every effort to do more than just earn money, however also to make a positive influence on society.
