Annual Reporting and Financial statements Te Protejo

Te Protejo is anorganization, officially established in Chile with the mission of influencing the Latin American cosmetics industry ecosystem to develop innovative policies in favor of animals and the environment.

Te Protejo was founded in Chile in 2012, with the mission of influencing the Latin American cosmetics industry ecosystem to develop innovative policies in favor of animals and the environment. It is the first organization in Latin America to certify brands that do not test on animals and has consolidated the only list of local and international brands available in each country where it operates that have been officially certified as cruelty-free by recognized entities.

In 2015, it was officially established as a nonprofit corporation under the name ONG Te Protejo, with Camila Cortínez, Daniela Medina, and Nicole Valdebenito as co-founders. Later, at the end of 2018, Ecobelleza Spa was formed—a for-profit company whose sole investor is ONG Te Protejo—with the purpose of carrying out commercial activities that support the organization’s mission. Since 2019, Te Protejo has operated as the overarching structure that encompasses both ONG Te Protejo and Ecobelleza Spa.

The nonprofit corporation is governed by a Board of Directors composed of five people, who are responsible for guiding and shaping the organization’s plans and objectives, as well as its medium- and long-term strategy. The Board is an elected body chosen by the organization’s General Assembly of Members every three years, and candidates must have been members for at least one year before the election. Once elected, the Board internally appoints a President, Treasurer, and Secretary, and may also name an Executive Director to lead the organization’s operations and a Vice President, if applicable.

The for-profit company (Ecobelleza Spa) is directed by its shareholders, which, in this case, is solely ONG Te Protejo. Its administration is overseen by a General Manager, who is the same person appointed as President of the nonprofit corporation. The Board of ONG Te Protejo is a strategic decision-making group responsible for the organization’s direction, handling complex decisions and problem-solving, and it plays a key role in both ONG Te Protejo and Ecobelleza Spa.

Each year, the current Board of the corporation presents the Annual Report, Financial Statement, and Inventory from the previous year to the Annual General Assembly of Members of ONG Te Protejo. This report includes a review of the activities and financial summaries of both ONG Te Protejo and Ecobelleza Spa.
