Director Regional de Desarrollo Humano at NELIXIA - Chicago, Illinois, United States
Since it was founded in 2009, NELIXIA has striven to reinvent the way of sourcing and producing natural ingredients. Convinced that sourcing has to go hand in hand with sustainability, NELIXIA puts social and environmental aspects at the heart of all its operations. Drawing on its experience in Guatemala, the company implemented a certified methodology to develop sustainable and traceable value chains for each of its ingredients. The company works in close collaboration with fragrance, cosmetic, food, spice and aromatherapy companies to promote the rich biodiversity of Latin America and to transform the natural raw materials harvested by local communities. The company now has three production sites and has deployed its sustainable approach in six Latin American countries
