Natura Cosméticos Natura Cosméticos is a Brazilian company that manufactures and sells a range of cosmetic products including shampoo, soap, make-up and creams that protect against the sun. Natura Cosméticos has ethical objectives and has built its success on the high quality of its products and on the company’s commitment to sustainable development1. Natura Cosméticos’ mission statement states that it is: “committed to building a better world through sustainable development”. Natura Cosméticos uses natural ingredients from the Amazon rainforest. The company supports local villagers in planting their crops using traditional sustainable techniques. Excerpt from the profit and loss accounts for Natura Cosméticos for the years ended 31 May 2006 and 2007 2006 2007 Sales revenue 2800 3123 Cost of goods sold 891 X Gross profit X 2131 Expenses X 1453 Net profit before interest and tax 644 X Interest 34 90 Tax 149 156 Natura Cosméticos sells its products in recyclable packaging through a direct sales distribution network of more than 60 000 self-employed 2 “partners” in Brazil. These “partners” are mostly women working part-time on profit-related pay. This approach works well because employment opportunities in Brazil are limited, wages are low, and it allows flexible working. Consumers also like direct distribution because of the personal service and close interaction with the “partners”. Natura Cosméticos has experienced an average annual growth in revenue of 25 % between 1995 and 2003. In 2006, the company built a new manufacturing plant to accommodate future growth. This was financed by a new long-term loan. 1 sustainable development: a pattern of resource use that aims to meet human needs
