Serious Business
Neill Corporation hosted its 8th annual Serious Business event in New Orleans, bringing over 1200 people in the industry together to talk about sustainability and progressive business practices. This carbon neutral event featured several guest speakers such as Vidal Sasson, Judah Schiller, Matt Mason, Nick Arrojo, John Dijulius and many others. The highlight of the event was the Hairdressers Unlocking Hope Benefit Show which raised almost $82,000 to help rebuild homes destroyed by Hurricane Katrina.
Hairdressers Unlocking Hope
Neill Corporation teams up with Hairdressers Unlocking Hope, an organization co-created by salon industry icon Vidal Sassoon and Mary Rector-Gable of behindthechair.com to build 20 new homes for Habitat for Humanity in New Orleans to benefit victims of Hurricane Katrina. Sassoon visited New Orleans for a day-long event to dedicate the first 10 homes built through the project.
"Coming Home" Charity Calendar
Michael Baker, Creative Director at Neill Corporation, develops unique “Coming Home” calendar featuring models coming home to New Orleans. Art-directed by Baker and shot in the French Quarter, all proceeds from the calendar will benefit Hairdressers Unlocking Hope.

Offspring Goes Carbon Neutral
Neill Corporation is facing the future and taking a stand against global warming. We have calculated the amount of carbon being emitted for hosting Offspring Miami 2007, including the energy used at the venue during the event and preparing for the event. This value is being offset, or balanced, through our own Building Bridges program in Hainan, China where we are supporting rural mountain villagers to switch to locally sourced, renewable energy systems. These systems are reducing pollution that leads to global warming by preventing emissions and creating clean and safe alternatives for our supply chain partners.
This is only a start, Neill Corporation is committed to creating a path to becoming more carbon conscious and having a positive impact, for ourselves and for all of our supply chain partners. This year, each conference participant will be given the opportunity to calculate their own personal carbon footprint for attending the conference and offset it with Native Energy. |
