- You only need one share to vote at an annual general meeting (AGM). One share of stock in a company means that you’re a partial owner of said company and you now have a way to speak directly to the board.
- Fragrance oils are one of the top 3 expenses in a products overall cost, yet many global brands don’t own these formulas, don’t know all ingredients, can’t hedge against shortages, or provide transparency to consumers.

- If the global Brands you love don’t know all of the ingredients used in their products, how can they claim their brand strongly believes in sustainability?
- With millions being spent each year on package redesign, why aren’t global brands trying to improve their product using safer, more sustainable ingredients, and improve its transparency?
