Body Shop follows Lego in pulling ads from the Daily Mail
The Body Shop has followed Lego to become the second leading business to refuse to advertise in the Daily Mail. The company stated that the newspaper’s editorial stance was in opposition to its own commitment to human rights. Campaign group Stop Funding Hate and charity Citizens UK had pressurised the company, known for its ethical stance, to end its relationship with the Mail. Campaigners are now calling on other companies, including the Co-op, John Lewis and Marks & Spencer, to follow suit.

The Body Shop has become the second major company to stop advertising with the Daily Mail.

The company said it had "no plans" to advertise in the Mail or its sister paper the Mail on Sunday.
