When looking at this year’s mergers and acquisitions in beauty, fashion and luxury goods, three corporations stand out: - In October, LVMH purchased premium luggage brand Rimowa, and bicycle brand Pinarello. With these acquisitions the luxury giant further pushes towards the segments wellness and traveling. - Estée Lauder took over indie beauty brands Becca cosmetics and Too Faced to attract a younger generation. - For $1bn, Unilever bought the Dollar Shave Club, a subscription based direct-to-customer razor business.

Making the rounds on the internets this week is this spunky remix of Nicki Minaj’s song Anaconda called Kondaikanal Won’t. Chennai-born rapper Sofia Ashraf partnered with NGO Jhatkaa to get the word out to corporation Unilever to clean up their environmental waste. 

Fourteen years ago, Unilever dumped toxic mercury waste in the city of Kodaikanal, and has yet to clean up the contamination or pay workers and the community for their suffering. Since then, 45 workers and 12 of their children have died as a result of the contamination. Ashraf wrote the lyrics to the song, and the video features a number of community members who have suffered thanks to Unilever’s irresponsibility.

In 2001, Unilever initially denied any wrongdoing, but after pressure from local organizations and environmental groups like Greenpeace, the corporation admitted it polluted the environment with extremely toxic thermometer waste. The company has yet to make amends, and the community is not backing down.

This Initiative Could Help 60,000 Poor Farmers

President Bill Clinton announced the launch of ELII -- a partnered effort between Acumen, Unilever and the Clinton Giustra Enterprise Partnership (a program created by the Clinton Foundation) -- at Clinton Global Initiative’s 2015 Winter Meeting in New York City on Tuesday. Clinton said the initiative will bring local farmers into the international market, "empowering hundreds and thousands of people to expand their skills and lift themselves from poverty." According to Unilever CEO Paul Polman, ELII has the potential to revolutionize how his company does business -- and how the world produces food.
