Sustainability
What brings an organic skin care company and an organization committed to inspiring, protecting, and supporting human health and well-being in a fair, sustainable world together?
It began with two visionaries who shared a passion for organic, natural living. When our company president and 2015 ISPA Visionary Award winner Boldijarre Koronczay met Damon Cory-Watson, Director of Development at Wellness Warrior, they quickly discovered the same values behind both organizations.
Wellness Warrior was founded by Deborah Szekely, the widely respected “godmother of the spa industry” and fellow ISPA Visionary Award winner. Her work focuses on motivating millions to take action for positive change and to improve global health. The Éminence Kids Foundation, started by Boldijarre and Attila Koronczay, shares that mission by donating organic fruits, vegetables, and juices to sick children around the world. The Foundation supports children through recovery and teaches them why healthy, organic nutrition is an important part of healing.
When we shared the Éminence Kids Foundation’s vision with Wellness Warrior, they saw providing organic nutrition to sick children as a major step toward their goals. As Damon explains:
“The simple act of giving when someone is in need is beautiful — and it’s how the world becomes a better place. I especially appreciate how the Éminence Kids Foundation supports children. Giving nutritious juice during recovery goes deeper than nutrition (though that’s a vital part of healing). It’s an emotional lift — a way to show up, to let people know they are cared for, loved, and that things can and will get better. We need more of that in the world!”
He goes on to describe our shared vision for an organic world:
“The benefits of organic food — especially food that is local, seasonal, and sustainably grown — go far beyond the health advantages of food grown without synthetic chemicals. They reach the farmworkers and communities who aren’t exposed to dangerous chemicals, the soil that gets restored, the local waterways that stay cleaner, and our global community, which faces fewer climate impacts when food is grown with fewer fossil fuels. The Éminence Kids Foundation sits at the center of health and environmental issues and has a strongly positive impact on the world.”
We’re proud to be a top-level sponsor of Wellness Warrior, helping them pursue their mission and encouraging people of every age and country to improve their own health and advocate for the health of the planet. We truly believe every choice for an organic, greener world brings us one step closer to a healthier global community.
