Marlene Sandberg, who nearly 15 years ago started working on the idea that would become Naty and the Nature Babycare brand, was awarded the 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award in Stockholm, Sweden on Tuesday, May 12th 2009.

The Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award was founded 37 years ago and recognizes business women who exhibit qualities of entrepreneurship, determination, and creativity.

The 2009 Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award focused on those same qualities, but also looked at social responsibility, such as environmental activism. And that’s where Marlene and Nature Babycare come into the picture.

Marlene was recognized for, “with passion and commitment, having founded and built an expanding company with extensive exports throughout the world. In a competitive market, she has developed ecological and environmentally friendly products designed for children, and thus, like all true entrepreneur, challenged the industry giants. She is recognized for her entrepreneurship and achievement in breaking in as a supplier to major retailers throughout the world.”

In the end though, we can’t take all of the credit. In fact, it is people like you who deserve the credit. So thank you. Thank you for continuing to support what we do. Thank you for thinking about, and taking care of, the environment. And of course, thank you for putting the health, well-being, and future of your baby, first.
