Bobbi Brown herself believes that we have an individual as well as global responsibility to protect the
environment. She implemented ELC’s fi rst comprehensive green offi ce program at the Bobbi Brown head-
quarters in New York City to focus on reducing waste and energy, reusing supplies and recycling materials.
Employees have eliminated bottled water, paper plates, cups and plastic cutlery. The offi ce has a strong recy-
cling campaign for discarded paper, plastic, glass and aluminum. Excess products, props, clothing, offi ce
supplies and computers are donated to organizations that can reuse them, such as Dress for Success, where
Bobbi serves as a member of the board. Employees, distributors, affi liates and suppliers are encouraged to
carry out Bobbi’s commitment to be environmentally responsible at their individual level. www.bobbibrown-

Clinique is a partner of Big Brothers Big Sisters, the largest and most effective youth mentoring organization
in the country. This past holiday season, Clinique presented its global Happy Day program to ensure that
those less fortunate had many opportunities to smile during the holidays. In addition to a fi nancial donation
of $100,000 to Big Brothers Big Sisters for Happy Day, Clinique helped 300 children from the program give
their mothers a gift of a Clinique makeover. Photos from Happy Day were displayed on New York City’s
famed Times Square Jumbotron, viewed by millions of passersby. In Taiwan, Clinique partnered with the
Chinese Children Home & Shelter Association, an organization founded in 1999 devoted to raising and
educating children who have lost their families, to help create an unforgettable holiday for the children of the
program. Clinique has been developing sustainable packaging for its products using 80 percent recycled
aluminum in its skin care jar caps and reducing the size of its promotional cartons by 15 percent.
