Respect  

 
Experience in ethics and business were the cornerstones in the founding of Respect in the spring of 2000. Anita and Gordon Roddick had successfully mixed sustainability and business in the building of The Body Shop. Per-Uno Alm and Kaj Embrén were among the swedish pioneers in environmental strategies. Together they founded Respect with the aim of clarifying the relationships between profit, responsibility and sustainable development. Sustainable business was to be profitable business.
 
Respect has initiated and operated top-level networks, which have been among pioneers in developing sustainable business in different sectors. It is the front edge competence within these networks that is the foundation of Respect's sustainability services and tools.
 
Ten years after the founding of Respect, we are proud to demonstrate that many of the founder's visions have been realized. We still work with great enthusiasm to tackle tommorrow's sustainability challenges.
 
 


Collaborations between business, politicians, science and NGOs are pushing sustainability forward.

Respect has contributed with initiating collaborations, seminars and debate articles with international profiles, such as Rajendra Pachauri, Chief IPCC, and Al Gore, Nobel Peace Prize winners 2007, Margot Wallström, Gro Harlem Brundtland and Mary Robinsson among others.
