Oriflame celebrates World Environment Day

 June 5, 2021 marks World Environment Day. For over a decade Oriflame, leading social selling Swedish beauty brand, has been systematically reducing its impact on nature. Which holds a very special place in its heart. With this love and commitment towards nature, the brand has identified and understood its impacts on the world around us – within Oriflame’s own operations and along its entire value chain. From this foundation, Oriflame built a holistic sustainability strategy with a focus on  Climate, Water & Forest.

A proud climate-conscious company, Oriflame has achieved 76% absolute reduction in GHG emissions since 2010. It uses 100% renewable electricity at all Oriflame-operated sites since 2018. All waste generated across its manufacturing sites in India is sent for recycling. And 100% of its plastic packaging is recycled and co-processed through its waste management partner. In 2020, this has saved over 8 million litres of water and 2.5 million kWh of energy.

Forests

Oriflame has planted 6 million trees and protected them in reforestation projects. In 2020, 99% of its paper , board packaging and catalogues came from credible certified sources or recycled materials. In doing so, the brand is reducing CO2 emissions while allowing individuals to breathe free in fresh air.

Water

Oriflame uses 100% natural-origin exfoliants like almond shells, fruit seeds and olive stones in their scrub products that do not pollute the oceans. It also chooses to use bio-degradable formulations in its Love Nature rinse-off products and masks to further the cause. Since 2015, the brand has achieved 7% reduction in water usage per produced unit at manufacturing sites.

Initiative

Climate/Plastic Neutrality

·         In 2020, VAHDM® became one of the first tea brands in Asia to get a Climate Neutral & Plastic Neutral Certification. This was in line with the brand’s long-term goal of aligning to UN SDGs by 2030.

·         With this they went ahead to offset the carbon footprint by purchasing credits in projects that work at reducing, removing or avoiding emissions or carbon from traditional fossil fuels, and thus help control climate.

·         In 2021, VAHDAM®  India have continued with their commitment towards Climate Neutrality by measuring and offsetting their carbon footprint for the year 2020 and will continue to do so in the coming years.

·         Offsetting – VAHDAM® India has purchased an equivalent amount of carbon credits to ‘neutralize’ their emissions. They have purchased credits from the following projects that are underway in India.

o   20MW Biomass Power Project at Godawari Power and IspatLimited, Chhattisgarh

o   100.5 MW Wind Power Project in Madhya Pradesh, India

o   Improved Wood Stoves in Udaipur – Helping Women and Environment

·         Reducing -As part of the long-term commitment to climate change, VADHAM® India is focused on reducing its carbon footprint by progressively looking at doing more with less energy consumption. While a growing business does result in a direct increase in the carbon footprint, they endeavour to reduce energy consumption through a planned roadmap. Eg. Monitor usage of Air-conditioners, Lights and Fans at office headquarters, Use reusable glassware in canteens.

·         Renewing – Responsible businesses are increasingly focusing on measuring and reducing the use of plastic. In 2020, VAHDAM® worked with rePurpose Global, to measure and offset its plastic usage, and become one of the first tea brands in India to get the Plastic Neutral certification. rePurpose Global is the World’s First  Plastic Credit Platform dedicated to reducing waste, reviving lives, and restoring nature’s balance. VAHDAM® regularly measures its plastic footprint by carefully calculating the total amount of plastic that is used in its operations. This footprint is then neutralized by investments in various projects.

By working with our Community Fair Trade partner Plastics For Change (PFC), The Body Shop is  sourcing recyclable plastic waste from waste pickers and recycling this plastic to create product packaging. In 2019 alone, they have purchased 250 tonnes of Community Trade recycled plastic from this initiative and used it in nearly three million 250ml haircare bottles. In 2019, they have sourced 250 tonnes of recyclable plastic and by the end of 2021 aiming to purchase over 900 tonnes of Community Trade Recycled Plastic. 

The Body Shop Bring Back Our Bottles (BBOB) Initiative  

 Taking back the plastic packaging is also key to The Body Shop  commitment to confronting plastic pollution while supporting the  waste picker community. With the launch of CFT Recycled Plastic, in 2019 The Body Shop  also launch  in-store recycling program – Bring Back Our Bottles (BBOB). Through BBOB,  consumers can drop off their TBS plastic empties to their nearest store for recycling.

Toogood x Birkenstock collaborate on multi-faceted spring/summer launch

 Birkenstock’s first collaboration with Toogood draws upon the shared values of the two distinct brands. Bringing together their core strengths of function and sculptural design to all aspects of daily life – walking, wearing, living and sleeping

The foundation of the collection sees a re-sculpting of classic Birkenstock footwear styles. Lent an organic feel via a signature palette of materials including canvas, felt and suede. The process of designing the sandals’ new cuts and puffy forms. Saw Toogood’s team developing shapes from a series of handmade sculptures made in the studio.

Birkenstock-x-Toogood
FayeToogood Birkenstock Gruppe

The Collection

The three sandal styles for men and women – the Forager, the Mudlark and the Beachcomber – draw inspiration from the idea of objets trouvés. Fragments of the past unearthed for collection and display. To accompany the footwear there is a complementary capsule collection of workwear. And accessories, characterised by sculptural forms and fluid silhouettes. The neutral palette of black, white and grey, with a  shot of yellow in the shoes, echoes the monochrome canvas coats of Toogood’s first collection. Accentuating the focus on shape, cut and texture. The act of recutting the Birkenstock sandal is highlighted throughout the capsule collection in prints. Which incorporate the pattern shapes of the sandals into bold, graphic designs.

Deepening the collaboration, Birkenstock and Toogood have created a new bed. Combining Birkenstock’s expertly constructed sleep system and Toogood’s distinctive design approach. Taking inspiration from the original BIRKENSTOCK footbed this unique bed design applies Birkenstock’s health-promoting principles for walking and standing to lying and sleeping. Bringing to the world of sleep the level of functionality that Birkenstock is famous for.

Puffy layers of canvas and leather upholstery create a soft form. Which sits on a cork base with the signature Birkenstock natural mattress and slatted frame incorporated within. The headboard and top surround are upholstered in cream leather, embracing its natural texture.

“To collaborate with such an iconic brand as Birkenstock has been an incredibly rewarding experience and one that marks an important moment in Toogood’s growth. For me, Birkenstock represents comfort and timeless, recognisable, sculptural form – all qualities I admire and strive for. Talking with Mr. Reichert, I found we shared so many values from high quality materials to manufacture. The opportunity to extend our partnership beyond shoes to clothing and a bed, brought a truly holistic approach to the design of the collections, reflecting the way I think and work – without boundaries.”

Ask Shahnaz Husain

Frequently asked questions answered by the Pioneer of Herbal Beauty

1. After applying oil, my hair falls. What should I do?

If your hair is oily, avoid oil applications. Also, avoid massage. The roots may be weak and massage will cause more hair to fall out. Apply a non-oily herbal hair tonic daily on the scalp and leave it on. For normal hair, apply oil once a week at night and leave on overnight. Have a small bowl of sprouts daily and include fresh fruits, leafy green vegetables, soyabean, curd in your diet. Ask your doctor to prescribe vitamin and mineral supplements.

2.  Tell me a home recipe to keep my face bright. I have black pimple marks on my face.

If there are no pimples now, use a facial scrub once or twice a week. You can buy a facial scrub, or you can mix rice powder with curd. Add a pinch of turmeric and apply on the face. Rub gently with small circular movements, especially on the areas with black marks. Leave on for a few minutes and wash off with plenty of water. Mix multani mitti with rose water and lemon juice into a paste and apply on the face two or three times a week, avoiding the lips and area around eyes. Wash it off when it is dry. If there is dryness, apply aloe vera gel or juice daily and wash it off after 15 minutes.

oxygen mask by shahnaz hussain

3. To get shining hair, can we use lemon tea bags directly after shampoo?

Use the juice of a lemon and not lemon tea bags. Boil used tea leaves again in enough water. Cool and strain it. Then add the juice of a lemon and use it as a last rinse after shampoo. If you wish, you can steep a tea bag in hot water to get the “tea-water.” You should have 6 cups of tea-water. Allow to cool and then add the juice of a lemon. Use it as a last rinse after shampoo.

4. I am engaged. I want to know how to select foundation.

foundation by shahnaz hussain

For make-up, the main items you will need are foundation in two shades. For dry skin, select a creamy foundation and for oily skin, you need a water based foundation. One foundation should be close to your normal skin colour and the other one should be one or two shades lighter, to conceal dark blemishes, like marks or patches. Or, you can use a concealer, instead of light foundation.
