				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<blockquote class="alignleft">We will provide a better salon experience by eradicating harmful <a href="http://www.organiccolorsystems.com/why-you-dont-want-ammonia-hair-color">chemicals</a>, toxins, and carcinogens in the salon environment without sacrificing the health, beauty and well being of clients, stylists or salon professionals.</blockquote> Hive Natural Beauty Collective provides our clients with luxury salon services and high performance hair products which maximize the use of gentle, nourishing and natural ingredients while minimizing the necessity for harsh or damaging chemical additives. With these healthier products and better information, we hope to bring about superior results and a safer salon environment for all concerned. To accomplish our Mission, we have adopted the following company values:</p>
<p>• Nurture the beauty, dignity, respect, health, and well-being of all;</p>
<p>• Pursue uncompromised integrity;</p>
<p>• Deliver excellence in all that we do;</p>
<p>• Only utilize and sell the highest performance, healthiest, most natural, and gentlest products available;</p>

<p>At Hive Natural Beauty Collective, we are committed to reduce our impact on the environment as much as we possibly can. In order to do so, we have adopted the following environmental policy as explained below:</p>
<p>We accept that, to effectively run our business and service our clients, our operations will have an effect on the environment, and that we have a duty to control this aspect. Due to this realization Hive Natural Beauty Collective is committed to not only complying with, but exceeding, all legislative and regulatory statutes governing the impact that we have on the environment. Furthermore, we recognize the value of a program of continuous improvement built towards reducing our environmental footprint. Hive Natural Beauty Collective therefore value the creative ideas and suggestions of our employees, clients, partners, and suppliers who are integral to our efforts towards continuous improvement.</p>
<p>Hive Natural Beauty Collective is also committed to striving to achieve the following:</p>
<p>• Reusing, reducing, and recycling wherever and whenever sensible;</p>
<p>• Ensuring that our employees are sufficiently equipped (tools and training) to minimize the effect that their activities have on the environment;</p>
<p>• Reducing the environmental impact of our business;</p>
<p>• Packaging using recycled or biodegradable materials when available;</p>
<p>• Recycling of waste packaging material and salon waste;</p>
<p>• Motivating our clients to recycle however possible; and</p>
<p>• Encouraging the emerging ideas to be socially or environmentally responsible from all constituent stakeholders.</p>
<p>Hive Natural Beauty Collective believes in supporting the community in which our business operates. By participating in local charities, either through charitable donations or active involvement, the Company seeks to engage in activities that contribute to the overall health and well being of our global community.</p>
<p>Hive Natural Beauty Collective’s employees are our most important asset. We are proud to provide a work environment where employees are appreciated, valued and given regular feedback. All of the management staff works alongside with our staff, promoting an ‘open door’ policy for concerns, thoughts and feedback. We promote based on merits and skill and do not discriminate based on age, color, creed or relationship orientation. We recognize parental and family obligations of our employees and promote a proper balance between work and family. Hive Natural Beauty Collective provides a creative working environment where all of our staff are encouraged to develop their skills and feel proud about their contributions. It is our goal to make Hive Natural Beauty Collective a fulfilling and enjoyable place to work.</p>
<p>Hive Natural Beauty Collective nurtures our relationships with clients based on the highest quality services and products, honesty, and maintaining the highest level of integrity. We are excited to work closely with every one of our clients and working hard to do whatever we can to help them feel beautiful, relaxed, and confident. We are committed to providing education, training, information, and support to enable our clients to use our products properly and yield the highest possible results at home.</p>
<p>We are committed to actively support non-profit organizations within our local community and around the world. We do this by donating financially, volunteering our time and support as individuals or as a company, or serving on non-profit boards. We are pro-active in trying to help our world be a better place for everyone.</p>
