Naturex’s new 2015 Pathfinder Report includes both an update on current sustainability actions and the company’s new global 2020 goals.
Olivier Rigaud, Naturex’s CEO, comments: “Sustainability is vital for our business because nature nurtures all our future developments. It is a key pillar of our Bright 2020 Strategic Plan. Our long-term growth relies on our capability to take into account sustainability in our daily work.”
Recently added to the company’s portfolio, Quillaia is an example of the company’s approach toward people and environment. Native to Chile, Quillaia saponaria, the soap bark tree, is a hardy perennial evergreen. The extract obtained from the wood is used in the food, cosmetics and health industries as a natural foaming agent and as an emulsifier. The extract is harvested in accordance with Chilean Forest Authority’s requirements, locally extracted and responsibly processed.
