Being a part of the development sector, I always appreciate it when brands take up the initiative to make a difference in the world. Sustainability and creating employment opportunities for people are something Oriflame has always been famous for. On their 50th Anniversary, Oriflame wanted to showcase their work and build awareness around their strong legacy and ambition for the future by roping in National Award-winning actress Kalki Koechlin as Oriflame’s brand ambassador to launch the much-awaited campaign, “A Beautiful Change”. Oriflame believes that everyone can make a beautiful change in this world.
Mumbai bloggers were invited to an exclusive meet to understand Oriflame’s initiative better and also to meet the lovely actress.
I am happy to report that from creating opportunities for people to improve their lives to giving back to local communities and nature, Oriflame has strengthened its position as an environment-friendly and sustainable company. Much of the brand’s vital philosophies are reflected via its many social and environmental policies. Oriflame aims to reduce carbon emissions by 50% by 2020. It has collaborated with the RFA to source 100% of its paper and packaging requirements from credible certified sources by 2020. Oriflame is also the first cosmetics company purchasing GreenPalm credits for 100% palm oil usage. All these initiatives push the brand closer to its goal of sustainability in bringing about a beautiful change in the world.
With its core beliefs of empowerment and sustainability, I say Kalki Koechlin is the perfect face for Oriflame India.
Mr. Sergei Kanashin, SVP and Head of South Asia & MD India at Oriflame said, “Being one of the fastest growing cosmetic companies in the world, we believe that beauty is beyond looks but it’s the way one acts. While our eviewoducts bring beauty and wellbeing into the lives of consumers, they are also manufactured in a way that they don’t harm nature and the environment. We welcome Kalki in the Oriflame family and we look forward to a fruitful association with her.”

We remember the day seven years back when were travelling in a Mumbai local trying hard to come up withe a name for our blog when struck us; Khushboo was always called a Jack of all Trades. The name stuck (with a slight modification, of course) and Minni was born. Six years, over 100 collaboration, lakhs of readers and several awards later; our love for blogging continues to grow. We continue to write on an eclectic range of topics from the funniest autorickshaw signs that we have spotted in Mumbai to how to bathe an elephant. We are true blue Munni of all Trades and we hope to continue on this joyride with our fellow Munnies and Munnas.
