This week on Start Somewhere Series 4 about sustainable and purpose-led beauty, health and wellness, I’m joined by my former colleague and friend Chris Davis from The Body Shop. Chris has been with The Body Shop since 2003 and currently heads up the company’s sustainability and activism strategy.

It was together with Chris that I had the honour of working on a three-year campaign by The Body Shop to call on governments around the world to take urgent action to stop the trafficking and exploitation of children and young people. The petition, which attracted more than 7 million signatures in more than 50 countries, was one of the largest petitions ever to be presented to the United Nations.

In this incredible episode, we hear about how standing up for other people has been part of Chris’s philosophy ever since his childhood, the work that makes The Body Shop a true activist brand and what it means for Chris to Start Somewhere.

Ask: Find a mentor you look up to who can help you. Trust your instincts and speak up, even when it feels really hard to do.
