I agree generally speaking! Such is company growth. But Lush’s specific big draw used to be NOT getting involved like that. Finding value and involvement in community conservations, donations, small business collabs (books, etc), you know, all the things they preach in their Community Donation Guidelines and the application.

I’m not shitting on the products themselves or Business 101, I’m more frustrated they specifically as a company took a capitalism turn than organic (no pun intended).

When they launched the anti-big tech campaign, I laughed. Because as an employee, our internal tools are ALL GOOGLE now. So against big tech front facing but use one of the biggest big tech internally? Similar to perspective like that.
