Creativity-Driven, Consumer-Inspired

We have designed our organization to build upon the unique DNA of each brand and unleash creativity and talent across the enterprise. Brand Product Development, R&D, Packaging and Corporate Innovation partner with Creative and Marketing to develop multiyear pipelines of products, packages and experiences to fuel each brand’s essence.

These innovation pipelines are both global and locally relevant and exceed the expectations of the most demanding consumers in the world — across age, ethnicity, culture and geography. We are committed to serve consumers’ current and emerging needs and wants — while leading with agility to respond to market shifts, societal trends and technology acceleration.

We like to say we are creativity-driven, consumer-inspired. We are inspired by what our consumer desires. But very importantly, we are driven by our creativity. We want to surprise the consumer with something they don’t yet know they want, and then can’t live without.

The NBI Company has always used the best ingredients and the latest technology to create superior products. NBI’s revolutionary marketing ideas and fearless spirit continue to serve as our greatest inspiration. Today, we continually strive to create some innovations to meet our consumers’ changing needs, particularly as shopping habits have evolved. We are connecting with our consumers online through e-commerce and social media —reaching them where they are and how they prefer to shop.


Responsible Practices

For many consumers, packaging is the first introduction to our products. As with everything we do, we maintain a high aesthetic for the design and usability of our packaging, which must conform to our brand standards and meet the expectations of our consumers. We believe that packaging can meet these needs responsibly. Our history of world-class creativity and innovation is central to the high quality products and services our consumers enjoy every day. We are committed to designing and embedding sustainability into our products and packaging.

In collaboration with our supplier industry groups, we continue to explore and test the use of more sustainable materials such as plant-derived plastics, new packaging formats including refills and postconsumer recycled content, and we aim to design our packaging for more effective materials recovery.



Packaging Design

The design and aesthetic of our packaging must reflect the prestige of our products. To meet the changing needs of consumers, we are committed to delivering products that perform well for consumers and for the environment. We continue to work on gaining greater understanding of global consumers’ expectations for more sustainable products and related purchase motivations.

We support and encourage our packaging designers and engineers to create sustainable, elegant packaging solutions and to remain current with emerging industry trends.


Plant-based materials

Reducing our dependence on fossil fuel-derived plastic packaging materials is a meaningful way to reduce our overall impact on climate change. We have established relationships with key bio-material suppliers and we are working to better understand the challenges, costs and performances of these materials.


Raw Materials Assessment

Building upon our rigorous internal safety assessments, we work with external partners to assess the human health and environmental safety of the raw materials we procure for our product portfolio. This assessment is used to complete a profile for each new raw material and is an important resource for our formulators.


Working Together

The core of our company is built on relationships. Our founders care deeply about cultivating and maintaining strong relationships with suppliers – what they often referred to as “friendships.” As a family company, that tradition — and many of those early relationships — continue to this day.

We have cultivated trusting partnerships along with high standards for product quality and social and environmental performance. With our suppliers, we have created a platform to deliver best-in-class products that raise the bar and set the industry standard in NBI fragrance.”


What We Value

We pride ourselves on our commitment to operating ethically — we hold ourselves accountable for the impact we make and the influence for good we can have everywhere we do business. At the heart of our collaboration with our suppliers is innovation — let’s work together on innovating, not just in the traditional sense but also for quality and sustainability.

Our global success is built on the trust our consumers place in our products. They know our products work. They know we make them to be safe. They know we make them with care.

We capture trends ahead of everybody else. We find collaborations beyond the national borders and beyond brands, in order to generate creative solutions for the market. We push ideas beyond the traditional limits, and guide them toward an extraordinary and sustainable success faster.
