"Since its beginning, Naturex has been working closely with local growers and collectors to preserve and encourage biodiversity. Receiving UEBT approval, with its strict requirements and external auditing process, is another step for Naturex's sustainability program," says Serge Sabrier, Chief Procurement Officer and President of the Sustainability Committee. Report Currently Naturex has 8 purchasing offices located near strategic sourcing areas, and will also further develop its partnership with its suppliers to promote good practices throughout its supply chains, giving initial priority to the most extensive cosmetic ingredient supply chains. Naturex's Personal Care Business Unit will report annually on the progress made regarding its UEBT membership requirements. Independent auditors will audit Naturex tri-annually to confirm adherence with UEBT standards. Ecocert conducted the first independent audit of Naturex in January 2014.
