Natura Cosmetics Gets A Sustainability Makeover

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Natura Cosmeticos has long been considered a leader in sustainability, known for materials and marketing innovations that aim to reflect its tagline of “well being/being well.”  The Brazilian cosmetics maker has been recognized by organizations such as Corporate Knights, the U.N. Environmental Program, SustainAbility and the Boston Consulting Group.
For instance, as a founding member of the Union for Bioethical Trade, Natura has promised to source ingredients sustainably without harming biodiversity, including getting one-third of its raw materials from the Amazon.
The company is currently working on Programa Amazonia, a plan to inaugurate its Ecoparque — a 1.7-million-square-meter closed-cycle industrial complex in the Amazon region — in March. The company hopes to eliminate waste and guarantee a clean destination for biproducts from Amazonian fruits, oils and berries that are used to produce its cosmetics. The plan also will involve the application of innovations from process and product research. 

“For example, we press the seeds from a certain palm tree or passion fruit and the rest is discarded,” said Renata Puchala, manager of Natura’s Amazonia Program. “At the other end, after we process the seeds, there is natural waste that needs a proper destination to close the full cycle.”

According to Puchala, Natura is in talks with other companies to form partnerships in

Herbalife Hires Republican Consultant To Battle States Attorneys General

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Embattled Herbalife has hired a Republican consultant in a move to head off any action against the company from state attorneys general.
Marcus Reese, a former George W. Bush campaign operative, joins the Los Angeles company as vice president for state and local government affairs, a newly created position, to bring Herbalife’s message to local and state leaders, the company said.
About nine state AGs have looked into allegations by investor Bill Ackman and Hispanic activists that the diet shake company is a pyramid scheme, Ackman has said. Two of them, New York and Illinois, have been identified.
Herbalife denies it’s a pyramid scheme.
The new position is a sign that Herbalife “is still concerned about what the state AGs are doing,” said Brent Wilkes, executive director of the League of United Latin American Citizens, an Herbalife critic.
Reese, who worked on the 2004 Bush campaign, among others, has been a consultant to Herbalife for the past year at Tusk Strategies, a public affairs consulting firm.
Reese has called himself a “war eagle” who, if not a political operative, would like to do fashion PR for Tom Ford.

Vince Reed – Top Internet Marketer Interview

by  •  • 0 Comments

 
Vince Reed from Los Angeles, California, USA is the founder of My Internet Traffic System – the Home Business Training System for top earners.
After not being able to sponsor a single person into his first network marketing business for 6 months, Vince Reed created a system that allowed him to personally sponsor over 1,232 people personally. That same organization grew to over 20,000 distributors.
After this success, Vince decided to create a lead generation training company to teach other online marketers, direct sales reps and network marketers how he did it.  It was important to him to prove that a business model that was built on home meetings and talking to friends and family could also work using the internet.
Knowing that most traditional network marketers are not the biggest fans of internet marketers because most seem to over complicate things, Vince was determined to keep it simple. That is why he launched www.MyInternetTraffficSystem.com (MITS) in November of 2013. MITS has generated millions of dollars in revenue and pays out hundreds of thousands of dollars in commissions every month to over 3,000 members.
Vince Reed now speaks at some of the best live events in the industry and even hosts his own events
