""We don't make the profit that we perhaps could if we made everything in China, but every single decision that we make is putting the planet and people first," said Heathcote-James, whose products are now stocked by Waitrose, Tesco and Boots."
"Winning as a small, independently financed business, she said, was the company's 'biggest coup' to date."
The King's Awards for Enterprise celebrated its 60th anniversary by honoring 186 organizations, including winners in international trade, innovation, sustainability, and social mobility. Among the recipients is the Little Soap Company, founded by Emma Heathcote-James, which emphasizes sustainability over profit. The company, which operates in Scotland and northern England, produces vegan-certified, cruelty-free soap products. Despite facing challenges from rising raw material costs and competition, the award represents a significant achievement for the small business, which has chosen to remain independently financed.
