<h4 class="cms-headings-h4">Charities, sponsorship</h4><br/>The Body Shop places emphasis on producing products in a way that is fair and right. It was the first international cosmetics company to introduce fair trade to the cosmetics industry in 1987. It was a part of the Community Trade Programme which saw that raw materials were taken from all over the world and that with this there needed to be commitment to trade fairly with consumers and small scale farmers. The Body Shop was also a founding member of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) who aim to improve the working lives of people around the world.
Campaigning remains an important aspect of The Body Shop's value system. Throughout history they have campaigned to prevent HIV, to stop domestic violence and to protest against animal testing, among others.
