The Beginning:
A Vision Takes Root
Every great story has a beginning, and ours started with Ricardo Fisas and his wife, Gloria Vergés.
Ricardo Fisas was educated by the Jesuits, an order he belonged to until he was 32. He first entered the workforce as an assistant in the marketing department at Nestlé. After working for a consulting firm, he was named president of Wrigley in Spain in 1967, a role he held until 1973.
He was subsequently the President of a protein-hydrolyzing company until he was laid off at the age of 50. That is when he decided to launch his own business venture, which he named Natura Bissé®. The skincare company was dedicated to creating results-driven cosmetic products and is a world leader in its sector today.
After passing the business to the next generation of the family in 2008, Ricardo Fisas and his wife Gloria Vergés dedicated their efforts to a humanitarian project they had been considering for years: creating their own Foundation.
Ricardo Fisas was an admirable person who inspired many who knew him. Effort, commitment, resilience, and human kindness are some of the values ingrained in the DNA of all the projects he pursued, including the Ricardo Fisas Natura Bissé Foundation.
His enthusiasm, positivity, and warmth will always guide this inspiring humanitarian project he started with his wife, Gloria Vergés, and that his children carry on with pride. It leaves behind endless unforgettable moments and stories…
