OUR MISSION
WE WORK TO CREATE A BETTER
FUTURE EVERY DAY
We help people feel good, look good and get
more out of life with brands and services that
are good for them and good for others. We will
inspire people to take small, everyday actions
that can add up to a big difference for the world.
We will develop new ways of doing business with
the aim of doubling the size of our company
while reducing our environmental impact.
Our business model is designed to deliver sustainable growth. We are
living in a world where temperatures are rising, water is scarce, energy is
expensive, sanitation is poor, and food supplies are volatile and uncertain.
We have to develop products that enable people to live well in a resource-
stressed world, and encourage behaviour and habits that help them to
livesustainably.
For us, sustainability is integral to our way of doing business. Executed
well, it will be a powerful driver of business growth and is a core
competence for any successful company.
