AAK’s work in West Africa to promote sustainable sourcing of shea through the Kolo Nafaso direct sourcing program was honored with a 2017 Sustainable Beauty Award. The company’s direct sourcing program functions in Burkina Faso and Ghana, providing more than 115,000 local women who collect shea with access to pre-financing, education and logistical support. AAK (booth 212) leads the way in developing sustainable, innovative, and technologically advanced shea-based ingredients for the beauty industry, opening up new opportunities for both cosmetic formulators and the women in West Africa who rely on shea for an income.
