Innovation

Natura has been innovating since its creation and has opted for sustainable production, meaning that they make use of natural resources, specifically those that do not affect the environment. They also responsibly extract ingredients from nature so as not to affect it, minimizing waste, and therefore, also minimizing the company's polluting emissions.

On the other hand, they have also innovated in their formulations and have been a transparent company by demonstrating the inclusion of natural and beneficial ingredients in their products, guaranteeing their clients' health and well-being.

Their commitment to sustainability is such that they have also opted for a green supply chain, have made use of recycled materials, and have made their packaging recyclable by implementing a refill system, which means that customers can return to fill their empty Natura containers with the same product, thus reducing the company's carbon footprint and highlighting the customer's commitment to the environment.

Natura's innovations are related to its mission since this consists of offering products that promote well-being by including nature but above all, respecting it.

The Natura company wants to inspire and be a role model for other brands as it has shown that entrepreneurship can go hand in hand with sustainability and thus make positive social change.

For all of the above, Natura was named a “carbon neutral company” and became the first leading brand to implement recycled and recyclable materials in its products.

They faithfully maintain the belief and methodology that sustainable results are those achieved through quality relationships and for this reason they are inspired to maintain open dialogue channels with all the public entities with whom they have contact.

Just as they have been inspired by the good things, they have also taken bad things from competitors as inspiration so as not to make the same mistakes. This is why they do not carry out any type of tests on animals and make a continuous strict and rigorous observation of international safety standards.

Finally, they seek to inspire their consultants by stimulating the professional, material, and professional development of all their consultants and encouraging them to become agents of transformation; contributing to the dissemination of the concept of well-being and the construction of a more prosperous and just society.
