🌿✨ Beyond its nutritional benefits, Açaí holds profound cultural significance in the Amazon, thriving exclusively in its native habitat. Natura partners with the COFRUTA community (Cooperativa dos Fruticultores de Abaetetuba) in Abaetetuba, Para, located 110km from Belém at the Amazon River estuary. Established in 2002 by families committed to sustainable practices, COFRUTA now comprises 120 members dedicated to organic Açaí harvesting. The annual harvest season, from September to December, is a cherished tradition eagerly awaited by local communities. 🌱 Harvested traditionally by climbing the slender trunks of the Açaí palm, this fruit is celebrated for its fresh, sweet flavor and nutritional richness: vitamins A, B1, B2, C, and E, alongside minerals like iron and potassium, and Omega 6 and 9 fatty acids. The antioxidant anthocyanins give Açaí its distinctive deep purple color. 🌿 Natura Ekos Açaí products utilize Açaí oil for its hydrating and revitalizing properties, leaving a delicate, fruity fragrance on the skin. This partnership exemplifies our commitment to sustainable practices and community empowerment. 🌍💧 #NaturaEkos #Açaí #SustainableBeauty #CommunityPartnership

🌍🌱 It's #NetZeroWeek, and we're committed to achieving Net Zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, delivering on a 1.5-degree future 20 years ahead of the UN's target! So, what does ‘net zero by 2050’ actually mean? By 2050, the UK (and countries all over the world)  are aiming to balance the greenhouse gases they emit with the amount they remove from the atmosphere, making its net contribution to climate change zero. This means that right now, businesses across the economy need to cut emissions as close to zero as possible by switching from fossil fuels to clean technologies like renewables. Most emissions must be entirely eliminated without relying solely on carbon removal technologies. Our 2022 progress shows our dedication to these goals, as we strive to become Net Zero well ahead of schedule. 🌳🌾 Net Zero is achievable and can be a game-changer if done right. Let's work together for a sustainable future! 💚🌿 #ClimateAction #Sustainability #CleanEnergy #NetZero2050

🌍✨ After a busy week at London Climate Action Week, here are 10 key takeaways that emphasise the urgent optimism needed to combat climate change. Here’s what we learned with some links in case you want to delve in further: 1. Urgent Optimism: Change is possible and necessary. 🌿 2. Global Unity: Natural disasters know no borders. We must share data, responses, and build resilience together. 🌍 3. Collaboration Over Competition: Businesses must work together while following the rules. This is happening across multiple industries, such as Natura &Co’s work with the EcoBeautyScore consortium. 🤝 4. System-Level Change: Transition gaps require policy and cultural changes. Advocacy aligned with the Paris Agreement is crucial. But culture will eat policy for breakfast which is why we also need to bring people along with us. Education and storytelling are key. 🌍 5. Skills for Transition: Training in new skills can transform local economies. An example of this is ReNew training women in India to be solar engineers. 🌞 6. Net Zero Standards: BSI's ISO Net Zero standard will ensure organisations meet credible net zero targets, supporting our work with Science Based Targets initiative. 🌱 7. Nature Now: Interest in Taskforce on Nature-related Financial Disclosures (TNFD) is rising, with businesses worth $6 trillion in market cap committed. Natura Cosmeticos is a proud member.🌿 8. Act Now: Actions drive beliefs. Climate behavioural scientists at UCL are highlighting the importance of starting with action. 📊 9. Innovative Boldness: Be courageous and take action. The risks of inaction are far greater than the risks of innovation. Science supports us. 🚀 10. Guided by Science, Moved by Poetry: Another of our favourite poems that reflects this sentiment is the words from the Hopi Elders. 📜 We must come together, act boldly, and be guided by science to create a sustainable future. 🌍✨ #ClimateAction #Sustainability  #Collaboration #NetZero #COP29 #EcoBeautyScore #TNFD #ClimateScience Sources & additional references: 1. https://lnkd.in/ekqx4bG2 4. https://lnkd.in/et8vnFvc   5. https://lnkd.in/eGqQ3e5T  6. https://lnkd.in/e8E3cJhT  7. https://tnfd.global/news/  8. https://lnkd.in/ebvrwZYd  10. https://lnkd.in/eJSX39Gk
