2 Performance The Brazilian Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance (CT&F) Industry recorded an average deflated compound growth rate of close to10% in the last 18 years, up from net exfactory sales of R$ 4.9 billion in 1996 to R$ 38 billion in Source: ABIHPEC Several factors have contributed to this excellent growth in the CT&F Industry, highlighting the following points: Greater affordability of CT&F products by D and E classes (lower middle and lower class, respectively) due to higher income. Newly arrived members of the C class (middle class) have started to consume higher value added products. Growing participation of Brazilian women in the job market Use of cutting-edge technology, leading to enhanced productivity and benefiting CT&F pricing, which has increased less than the price indexes of the overall economy Ongoing releases of new products to meet growing market needs Greater life expectancy, prompting the need to preserve a youthful impression Página 2

3 CT&F Growth vs. Economic Growth Brazil has recorded overall low growth rates in the last couple of years. The table below compares the performance of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) with that of the overall manufacturing sector and with the rates for the CT&F industry, showing that the CT&F sector presented much more vigorous growth over the last couple of years than the other manufacturing sectors (average growth of 9.8% p.a. for CT&F versus 3.0% p.a. for total GDP, and 2.2% p.a. for the overall manufacturing industry).

5 Foreign Trade Up until 1994, the country had been recording a surplus of between 10 billion and 15 billion dollars in its trade balance. In the post Real Plan period from 1995 to 1998, when the exchange rate became the main anchor for stabilizing Brazil s currency, the Brazilian trade balance recorded deficits of between 3 billion and 7 billion dollars. Starting 1999, the floating exchange rate was introduced, causing a major devaluation in the Brazilian real, at which time the deficit was reduced to 1.3 billion dollars, narrowing to 0.7 billion in the following year. In 2001, the Brazilian real was devaluated again, primarily because of the economic crisis in Argentina, triggering a surplus of US$ 2.7 billion. Another sharp depreciation of the real followed in 2002, which boosted the surplus to US$ 13.2 billion, and, in 2003, the surplus rose to US$ 24.9 billion. Despite appreciation of the real from 2004 to 2006, the surplus surged again, this time cresting at US$ 46.5 billion in In 2013, the surplus shrank to US$ 3 billion as an upshot of the continuous appreciation of the Brazilian real.

The CT&F Industry s trade deficit, which totaled US$ million in 1997, trended downward in the following years, sinking to US$ 8 million in 2001, but then bounced above the line in 2002 and onwards. In 2009, the surplus climbed to US$ 169 million, representing a 23.0% drop in relation to 2008, reflecting an appreciation in the real, which widened the deficit to US$ 412 million in BALANÇA COMERCIAL (US$'Milhões) HIGIENE PESSOAL, PERFUMARIA E COSMÉTICOS Ano Importação Exportação Saldo % Cresc.

14 Technical and Regulatory Issues This department of the Association deals with the technical, regulatory and scientific issues needed to operate the CT&F industries in Brazil. It coordinates several work groups to ensure that the CT&F industry sets down proposals and guidelines that will give support to both domestic and international governmental issues related to health surveillance and metrology. The upshot has been ethical demands put forth by companies, and other demands pertinent to reducing technical and regulatory barriers. In the past few years, a challenge has arisen, met by a commitment from the CT&F industry to keep in pace with the growing Brazilian market, and also to meet expectations to export quality products that are efficient, safe, competitive and recognized on both the domestic and the international market. The department develops activities designed to promote the growth in CT&F industries by researching and applying current subject matters related to the regulatory area, working in partnerships with associations that interface with the CT&F production chain, like SEBRAE (Brazilian Micro and Small Company Support Service), ABDI (Brazilian Industrial Development Agency), APEX-Brasil (Trade and Investment Promotion Agency), and ABNT (Brazilian Association of Technical Standards). Health legislation is periodically updated, so that it can keep current on ongoing technical and scientific advances, thus prompting the development of new technologies and/or new information related to the safe use of products. Handbooks are developed with guidelines for regulating companies and achieving the Good Manufacturing Practices, thus providing the structured technical support required to qualify companies to meet health regulations. The updating of Technical, Health and Metrological Regulations is done in line with International Regulations, in order to remove regulatory obstacles among regions, and minimize technical barriers to international trade, while ensuring a high level of consumer protection. International In view of the constant regulatory changes in the health field and the need to lend its contribution to the CT&F industry, and also in view of the foreign trade actions conducted by the Beautycare Brazil Project, handbooks are developed that provide information on health and metrological regulation, as well as other references for exporting CT&F products. In addition, events are promoted to enhance the business and technical skills needed for companies to conform their products more suitably to the project s priority markets. Página 14

15 ABIHPEC participates in the MERCOSUR Special Committee for Health Surveillance Consultancy and has a seat on the agency representing private initiative and addressing CT&F issues. The SGT 11 Health, AD HOC Cosmetics has already been able to place in conformity several technical CT&F-related criteria. In 2013, ABIHPEC started following the work on metrology being developed by MERCOSUR, and also attending the meetings of the SGT 03 Technical Regulations and Conformity Assessment, coordinated nationally by Inmetro. It is also responsible for bringing these regulations into agreement, thus keeping them from becoming technical barriers to trade among the member states (Argentina, Brazil, Paraguay, Uruguay and Venezuela) and between these states and other countries or economic blocks. CASIC In Latin America, ABIHPEC acting through its Technical and Regulatory Department is a member of the Technical Committee of the Latin American Cosmetic Industry Association Board, assembled to hold annual meetings of the Latin American health authorities. ICCR Since 2013, ABIHPEC was elected, together with ANVISA, to represent Brazil at the ICCR - International Cooperation on Cosmetics Regulation, an international group cooperating to regulate cosmetic products. It meets every year and has the objectives of removing regulatory obstacles among regions and minimizing technical barriers to international trade, while ensuring a high level of consumer protection. The group is composed of government and private initiative representatives from Canada, European Union, the United States and Japan. PCPC Every year, ABIPEC participates in an event held in the United States, organized by the PCPC Personal Care Products Council and made up of the most important international counterpart associations, as well as the chief industries operating in this market. In the last couple of years, this meeting has become the most important gathering of international organizations, where strategic matters are discussed at all levels, in all aspects and in respect to all areas, geared at developing these markets. Cosmetics Europe With this same aim, ABIHPEC also participates regularly in the European community, by attending the meeting of Cosmetics Europe, the European counterpart association for makers of cosmetic products. ISO/TC 217 By way of ABNT s Brazilian Cosmetics Committee (CB-57), ABIHPEC participates in the world forum through the ISO/TC 217 Committee organized by ISO International Organization for Standardization, a worldwide group for the global standardization of products from the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Industry.

16 Responsibility for Post-Consumption Packages RESPONSIBILITY FOR POST-CONSUMPTION PACKAGES On August 2, 2010, President Lula sanctioned Law #12305, which introduced the National Solid Waste Policy in Brazil, after about 20 years of Congressional debate. Approval of the law found ABIHPEC already conducting one of its social programs, called Dê a Mão para o Futuro (Give the Future a Helping Hand), in full compliance with what this concept proposes. This is an example of the pioneering spirit and high degree of socioenvironmental commitment made by ABIHPEC s associated companies that participate in the program, and by its other associative partners: ABIPLA and ABIMA. SHARED RESPONSIBILITY The core principle behind Dê a Mão para o Futuro is shared responsibility. This entails the engagement by the entire society to resolve the issue of the suitable end use of postconsumption packages. Bearing this in mind, the actions conducted by the program aim at assuring: o o That the population acquires the habit of correctly separating recyclables from ordinary garbage. For this reason, the work of guiding the population to make it aware of the importance of conscious consumption, and the cooperation needed to enable waste sorting, are essential to the success of the program. Only in this manner can the volume of collected recyclable waste be increased. This result can be obtained by promoting public awareness campaigns in the participating cities. That the sorting of urban solid waste (the responsibility of public authorities) is carried out comprehensively and consistently, because only after the packages are collected and sorted can industry give them the most suitable environment end use. Awareness that solid waste reusability and recyclability constitutes an economic asset and one of social value, by enabling jobs and income to be created, and by promoting citizenship, is yet another principle that has steered this program since its very beginning. Brazil s socioeconomic conditions led to the creation of a unique model for collecting recyclable material. This model is based on waste pickers, who, through the years, got Página 16

17 together and formed associations and cooperatives. Although the model is considered a success, these workers still operate in a very informal manner. Considering that this area offers sizable opportunities for social inclusion, job creation and income generation, it has become necessary to improve the physical and management structures of these associations and cooperatives to ensure greater production capacity. This is the fundament guiding the program. There can no distinction between the post-consumption recyclable waste materials collected. They may belong to the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance industry, just as they may also belong to related industries. If the proposal is to work with waste picker associations and cooperatives, it is not possible to sort the waste according to segment; rather, it must be done according to the equivalent weight of the recyclable material. With this in mind, companies are taking on the responsibility of determining the most suitable end use of equivalent post-consumption packages in volume/weight terms, and are complying with the legislation. The program has the following goals: Contribute to improving the nation s scenario for correct end use of urban solid waste, by helping to reduce the volume of recyclable materials that end up in landfills. Increase the recycling feasibility of post-consumption packages, by expanding and improving their collection, sorting, processing, importance and marketing. Develop actions designed to support programs intent on creating jobs and generating income, and that promote the social inclusion, the improvement of work conditions and the quality of life of waste pickers, by developing integrated and sustainable programs. Offer creators of solid waste (society as a whole) a suitable option for managing their waste. Offer recyclers and/or manufacturers raw materials that are duly sorted and processed. The partners in the program are ABIPLA (Brazilian Association of Cleaning Product Industries and the Like) and ABIMA (Brazilian Association of Manufactured Pasta, Bread and Cakes). The Dê a Mão para o Futuro Program is being carried out with great success in several parts of Brazil, benefitting thousands of people! What s the upshot of this? More quality of life for all!

18 s OVERVIEW OF THE CT&F INDUSTRY CT&F Development Program The PDS-HPPC Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance (CT&F) Industry Development Program is conducted by ABIHPEC, in partnership with the ABDI Brazilian Industrial Development Agency and with the SEBRAE Brazilian Micro and Small Company Support Service. The objective is to promote the development of CT&F companies sustainably by providing management and dissemination of know-how, by giving access to and ensuring alignment with the market, and by promoting developments in technology and innovation, in addition to strengthening CT&F micro, small and mid-size companies in the different states throughout the nation. Ever since 2006, the PDS-HPPC has been promoting actions statewide, providing training and lending its services to micro and small companies, driven by its endeavor to strengthen the production chain, and to foster the modernization and development of local production schemes and regional production structures. Specific tools are made available to drive the strategic actions of the agreement that have given CT&F companies access to expertise, technological innovations, CT&F trends, tax information, management skills, sustainable action and methodology to operate in compliance with ANVISA (Brazilian Health Surveillance Agency) regulations and to participate in the international market. The project is conducted in several regions of Brazil, where local partnerships have been forged to carry out the actions. These regions have been given the name of Regional Centers and are located in the following states: Santa Catarina, Rio Grande do Sul, Paraná, Rio de Janeiro, São Paulo (Diadema), São Paulo (Franca and region), Minas Gerais, Ceará, Bahia, Pernambuco, Pará and Goiás. By providing actions geared to development, the project focuses on lending ongoing assistance for companies to broaden their horizons, and not only take advantage of, but also maximize their potential.

19 Internationalization Program The Beautycare Brazil CT&F Project was created in 2000 and is managed by ABIHPEC (Brazilian Association of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Industry) in partnership with APEX-Brasil (Trade and Investment Promotion Agency). It has the support of the ABDI (Brazilian Industrial Development Agency), of SEBRAE Brazilian Micro and Small Company Support Service and of ITEHPEC (Institute of Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance Technology and Studies). Its mission is to promote the competitiveness of the Cosmetic, Toiletry and Fragrance (CT&F) Industry by achieving internationalization. Among its objectives is the consolidation of Brazil as world leader in the consumption of CT&F products, thereby boosting the industry s national and international prestige through the recognition of its excellence in such requisites as production and global consumption, as regards production efficiency, innovation, high technological level and sustainability. Priority Market Strategy Beautycare Brazil has the primary goal of keeping up the level of exports of the companies supported by the project, and ensuring that these exports are higher than the CT&F international trade growth, even in a scenario of global crisis and fluctuations in the exchange rate. For this reason, stricter criteria were adopted to select target markets and strategic actions, highlighting especially the following: Opening the Market: The focus is on promoting business contacts by holding Road Shows, Trade Shows and the Buyer Project. Consolidating the Market: The focus is on expanding the distribution channels for the company s already existing sales operations. Actions will be developed involving pointsof-sale, brand activation, the Buyer Project aiming at training commercial partners, project image, and trade shows focused on promoting contacts with opinion setters. Página 19
