Harriet Lamb, Director of the Fairtrade Foundation, met Anita Roddick on several occasions over the years, when they engaged in long discussions about Fairtrade. She always found Anita to be very inspirational and helpful to the Fairtrade Foundation.

“Anita Roddick’s death is a very sad loss to the whole Fairtrade movement. She was an iconic figure and a huge inspiration to many people right across the world, showing that you can conduct business with principles, as well as campaigning for wider changes. She put the need for being fair to farmers in the public domain in the days when it was a brave pioneering move. Her legacy will be carried forward by the many people she influenced.”
