THE
RICARDO FISAS NATURA BISSÉ FOUNDATION
In 2008, our founders, Ricardo Fisas and Gloria Vergés, created a private
and independent foundation committed to the wellbeing of vulnerable people.
The Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation has been creating collaborative and
sustainable projects in partnership with top professionals and organizations ever since.
Among these projects, it is worth highlighting the Oncology Skin Care Program and
Project Difference, both active in Spain, our home country. The former provides aestheticians
with specialist training in the much-needed area of Oncology Aesthetics and gives support to
people with cancer in order to minimize the side effects that medical treatments might have on
their skin, which can, in turn, affect their quality of life.
Project Difference offers support to educational teams that work with children with
learning differences such as dyslexia and dyscalculia so they can develop the skills
they need for the future and enjoy a better experience at school and in life.
Natura Bissé is committed to donating 0.7% of our annual revenue to the Foundation and
in 2013 we created a collection of hotel charitable amenities to help fund its initiatives.
The Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation’s Oncology Skin Care Program arrived in the
United States in 2020.

INNOVATION WITH PURPOSE: FROM BARCELONA TO THE WORLD
With a multidisciplinary R&D team, our own laboratory, and in-house production facility, Natura Bissé is
one of the few skincare companies to meticulously manage every step of the process from initial concept
to completion.
By manufacturing exclusively at our Casa-Fábrica in Barcelona, we ensure exceptional operational
flexibility while guaranteeing the highest quality and full transparency in our formulas.
Our comprehensive in-house production and cutting-edge technology allow limitless innovation. We are
committed to delivering effective cosmetic solutions that redefine excellence in skincare.
QUALITY STANDARDS
All our products are conceived, designed, and manufactured in-house at our Casa-Fábrica in Barcelona
before
being distributed worldwide. Our multidisciplinary team of scientists use state-of-the-art equipment and
exclusive
technologies to develop effective, high-quality products specifically formulated for the needs and
well-being of all skin types.
Our manufacturing site adheres to the highest quality standards in the industry, ensuring strict
compliance with European GMP
(Good Manufacturing Practices) certification and U.S. FDA (Food and Drug Administration) guidelines to
guarantee the quality,
safety, and efficacy of all our processes.
ENVIRONMENT
Our commitment to excellence means offering the most effective skincare combined with our exquisite
aesthetic standards. Moreover, our daily challenge is to develop more environmentally friendly products
without compromising our efficiency or our brand identity.
Our formulas: We use highly effective active ingredients, looking for the balance between
natural-origin and safe lab-grown ones. When selecting raw materials we take into account the place of
origin, extraction process and end of life with the aim of reducing the environmental impact in a
holistic way.
Our packaging: We are steadily introducing FSC paper for all our paper and cardboard packaging.
Natura Bissé is undergoing a process of transformation based on three eco-design criteria: improving the
type of materials, reducing the amount used and increasing the recyclability of our packaging. For
example, we are incorporating recycled plastic into our plastic packaging and reducing superfluous
packaging elements.
Our visual merchandising: We are selecting more sustainable materials such as cotton, ramie or
recycled polyurethane for our gifts with purchase items and wood from FSC forests in our visual
merchandising projects.
Our Casa-Fábrica: Our new headquarters in Barcelona
have been built using the most advanced systems in building management to promote more sustainable
production. These control systems, along with the fact that most of the power supply comes from a
polygeneration power plant, mean that the building is highly energy-efficient, achieving savings of
around 50% in primary energy consumption and a reduction of over 35% in CO2 emissions. Moreover, the
measures implemented in the new production plant are based on production processes to have the lowest
possible impact on the environment and on health.
CORPORATE GOVERNANCE
To support our growth, our team has
progressively expanded to create a large family of over 400 people located
all over the world. We all work in unison to continue revolutionizing the
beauty and wellbeing industry. Internal mobility, both nationally and
internationally, is encouraged so that everyone can develop their talents to the fullest.
Ever since the company was founded,
Natura Bissé has been a highly feminized organization that promotes the
unlimited advancement of women. 80% of our total workforce are women. 90%
of the scientists in our laboratory are women. 68% of our executives are women.
All of them work as a team in a sector driven by female entrepreneurs.
