Natura recently announced the winners of the 2015 cycle of iQLICAR, a program that recognizes the company's innovation partners.
The award is an extension of QLICAR, a corporate program for relationship management with partners, which evaluates the pillars of quality, logistics, innovation, competitiveness, environmental and social aspects, and relationships.
iQLICAR is not just an award; it is a tool focused on understanding, measuring, and improving the contribution to innovation from Natura's partner network.
Through it, it is possible to know in which initiatives each partner is involved with Natura's innovation area and what their contribution history has been over the years. In this way, the company can strengthen relationships, work on joint development relations, and map partners with the greatest potential to contribute to new projects.
With the program, Natura also has the opportunity to recognize and give visibility to the partners involved in its innovation processes. iQLICAR provides for the exchange of information and indicators, which also favors the generation of mutual knowledge and the enhancement of partnerships.
