"The vegan high street brand, founded in 1994 by Constantine and his wife Mo, is well-known for its LGBTQ+ and environmental advocacy. Earlier this year, the brand proudly stood-up for the trans community in the wake of the controversial Supreme Court ruling and released a campaign in partnership with trans-led organisations TransActual and My Genderation to reaffirm its commitment to trans rights and visibility."
"Following this, the brand ended its collaboration with Download Festival on principle after the rock music festival said single-sex spaces like toilets would be operated on the basis of "biological sex". "I like being woke," the cosmetics boss told the BBC, who describes himself as an "over-achiever and a nerd". He added that those who do not agree with his social justice focused business practices "shouldn't come in my shop"."
