Brussels (Belgium) - Luis Seabra will share the corporate philosophy of the cosmetics company, Natura, and discuss the implementation of sustainability principles in the commercial domain. This presentation will show how Natura disseminates its philosophies through its products, services and communications. He will focus on the bonds between mother and child (through Natura's 'Mother and Baby' line), the battle against common 'beauty stereotypes' (the 'Chronos' line) and the sustainable use of Brazilian biodiversity (the 'Ekos' line).

Biography
Luis Seabra started working at the age of 15 for Remington Rand where he spent eight years working in positions from trainee to superintendent. He obtained his Bachelor in Economics and during the sixties he worked for a small cosmetics company. There, he discovered a new market and became fascinated by it. In 1969, Luis started Natura Cosmeticos as a small store in Sao Paulo, selling his products and acting as a consultant. He became aware of the transforming potential of cosmetics, and found that taking care of the skin is an expression of self esteem. As CEO and Founder of Natura, Luis Seabra leads an organisation of 2700 collaborators. In 2002, Natura made R$ 1.9 billion in five South American countries: Brazil, Bolivia, Chile, Argentina and Peru.
