The building will supply <a href="http://www2.natura.net/NaturaMundi/src/index.asp">Natura</a>’s sales growth in the southern region and to improve services provided to Natura’s door-to-door sales consultants.</p><p>The announcement is part of a new logistics model developed by Natura in 2010, which aims to reduce its carbon footprint. Natura focuses on providing eco-friendly products and sustainable operations.</p><p>“The project consolidates our relationship with the Parana market, and speeds up our delivery time to our sales team,” explained Alexandre Lemos, Natura south region commercial director. Located in the Contorno Leste, the new distribution center has proximity to major highways.</p><p>“We are proud of our management model improvements in the past years,” said Joao Paulo Ferreira, operation and logistics VP for Natura. “This is a key initiative for us, as it is a challenge to continue growing at the same time reducing our environment impact, and also do it alongside our suppliers.”</p><p>The new distribution center, whose operation will be run with Penske Logistics as a partner, will supply the Parana and Santa Catarina markets.</p><p>According to Paulo Sarti, managing director of Penske Logistics South America, the relationship with Natura is important to consolidate the company’s strategy in the country, focused in the regional expansion.</p><p>“We enter the logistics market in the Southern area of Brazil with a client that requires a high level of quality and commitment, which reinforces our expertise in running successful logistics and warehouse operations,” explained Sarti.</p><p>The new facility will operate with some 200 employees divided in two-shift teams.</p><p>With 10,700 square meters, the distribution center will enable products to be delivered much faster to thousands of Natura consultants in the region.</p><p>The new distribution center operation ensures a lower environmental impact due to the reduction in CO<sup>2 </sup>and other polluting gases issued by the vehicles to transport the products.</p><p>Going forward, the items will go directly from Sao Paulo to Sao Jose dos Pinhais distribution center.
