A Message from the Chairman & CEO
Rick Goings
Tupperware Brands has been and continues to be a company
that is passionate about changing women's lives through enlightening,
educating, and empowering them to achieve their goals.
We are able to help our sales force, most of whom are women, not only see the
possibilities that lie ahead, but also provide them a way
to achieve them. Through our innovative products, dynamic
selling situations like "Girls Night Out" and "Spa
parties" and by providing a career replacement earnings
opportunity, women are empowered to take charge and to embrace
new opportunities. Relationships are developed, achievements
are recognized and rewards are earned. These are all part
of our culture and the culture of our sales force.
As we look across our portfolio of direct selling companies, through our acquisition
of the Sara Lee Direct Selling companies in December 2005,
we further expanded our footprint in Beauty. We have a substantial
footprint in Mexico and we continue to work to expand our
Beauty business into South America and elsewhere.
While there will always be challenges, we have been able
to adapt our business model to changes in the market. Leveraging
the institutional skills of our management team, the strength
of our employees and the passion of our sales force of over
2 million from around the world, we look forward to the future
and the unlimited opportunities that come from being a global
portfolio of direct selling companies.
