Sahara Challenge : introducing Xavier Vidal
The Body Shop International has always campaigned on issues close to their hearts, where they believe they can make a real difference. This attitude towards the values of the company is part of our DNA, started way back in the beginning by Anita and her activist spirit.
That spirit is still very much alive in the staff today, from store staff tirelessly campaign to those at the top who strategically drive the company.
Like Xavier Vidal, for example. Xavier is the Europe, Middle East & Africa Zone Managing Director and he has joined our team of fearless trekkers, all working for access to clean water. Find out more about Xavier in his answers to the 10 questions we ask absolutely everyone….
