The Body Shop Australia was the first, and is still one of the few, organisations in Australia undertaking social auditing along the framework developed by the AccountAbility. It has been suggested that organisational accountability is the necessary link between how the world is ordered and how it should be ordered (Gray, Owen, & Adams, 1996). This paper will evaluate the reports produced as part of the social audit process at The Body Shop between 1998 and 2002 against the AA1000 principles. In doing so, it will also reflect on the AA1000 principles themselves. This paper is part of a larger research project investigating social auditing at The Body Shop.engWith permission of the license/copyright holdersocial ethicstradeEconomic ethicsBusiness ethicsTrade ethicsConsumer ethicsConference proceedings
