THE SWEET SMELL of success never gets tiring for employees at Lush Fresh Handmade Cosmetics. As well as its new 9,500-sq-ft flagship store on London's Oxford Street, the Dorset-based retailer's impressive portfolio also includes 928 shops in 47 countries (130 in the UK), 18 spas and eight factories. The green credentials of the company — which only uses vegetarian ingredients — are appreciated by staff, who gave it an unbeaten score of 82% positive in relation to its care for the environment. Initiatives include selling shampoo in bar form, which has saved almost 6m plastic bottles globally. Lush's 4,036 people are proud to be part of an organisation with such strong ethics (74%). www.lush.com
