Clorox owns Burt's Bees.<br /><br />It is amazing to watch how Hollender is showing up in Social Media so proactively right now by hiring Bill Breen, former Editor with Fast Company and Hollender's coauthor of The Responsibility Revolution and Nancy Baron, communications expert for climate.<br /><br />This is one CEO that gets Social Media.Lavinia Weissmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420432372656455313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008724049496903547.post-38953734075197191502010-03-21T18:41:18.413+02:002010-03-21T18:41:18.413+02:00Hi Lavinia, Mile and Wesley
thanks for reading and...Hi Lavinia, Mile and Wesley<br />thanks for reading and commenting. Lavinia- hope you stay free of ticks. <br />Mike - great post, thank you. Wesley - interesting perspective - and yes, you caught my point - I would have through the plight of bees should be rather a material issue for a company who is named after them and sources raw materials made from their output. Thanks for raising this point.<br />elaineelainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07433863039389159395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008724049496903547.post-54633718742035986472010-03-21T18:31:54.549+02:002010-03-21T18:31:54.549+02:00They may not wish to speak about their bees and so...They may not wish to speak about their bees and sourcing of bees wax because of the colony collapse issues in North America, and consequently their choice to source wax from Ethiopia - while this involves greenhouse gas issues, there a rationalisation has been made from the increased jobs, money, etc provided to impoverished communities.<br /><br />Regardless of, or perhaps as a result of, this shift in sourcing this should provide an opportunity for Burt's Bees to explain their sourcing change decision, while also showing the value they are providing to communties in need. <br /><br />Though it would also be fitting and interesting to know if they are investing in projects or research that address North American colony collapse issues.Wesleynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008724049496903547.post-56241717952674571942010-03-20T22:28:13.057+02:002010-03-20T22:28:13.057+02:00Hi Elaine: I tweeted this yesterday, but you may ...Hi Elaine: I tweeted this yesterday, but you may not have seen it: http://bit.ly/cOIoEb<br /><br />Mike.Mike Nelson Peddehttp://www.wolfnowl.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8008724049496903547.post-9107284878554027102010-03-19T12:28:49.699+02:002010-03-19T12:28:49.699+02:00Interesting post. Burt Bees CEO IS John Replogle. ...Interesting post. Burt Bees CEO IS John Replogle. He is from Unilever and Burt's Bees is now owned by Clorox, so I wonder what that implies. I found the report very "cosmetic" and the website very retail. The story about Burt had no real value for me. He was a character that created a good thing, but I don't know really if this company has any real purpose or empowers its employees take on CSR or Sustainability.<br /><br />I use to feel about their bug spray the way you do about Chunky Monkey, but I could not find it on site as a product. So I'll have to resume my obsession to protect myself from tick bites with Avon's Skin So Soft. That stuff just keeps the ticks away and is a natural product I prefer to OFF bug spray.Lavinia Weissmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05420432372656455313noreply@blogger.com
