What Happens When You Swallow Fishbone

WELEDA

year results of Weleda AG in 2008: a loss of 7.315 million Euro or 10.826 million CHF.

consequence of this disastrous result: No!

Fortunately, there are the financial crisis, with which one can explain the poor results because management errors are of course excluded, there is no reason to be self-critical reflections.

In Germany, there were some losses, which are apparently due to in-stock merchandise ruined (but certainly not in the amount of EURO 7 million!) - And were probably the reason for the exemption of Mr. Frisch. But these losses were only a result of the disorderly management and not the existing inter-site monitoring systems and a non-existing intranet with appropriate transparency - I have already called for almost 10 years ago! Well, the fish stinks from the head - and there will not be replaced, the experience is still the same - Aebersold, Sirdey, Follmer ... and new members are so co-opted, that is, "co-opted" by the current members - and of course there is added only someone who has the right of farm animals. Self-critical considerations are of course not desired.

What eg, with the balance Heart AG? Now in liquidation? A "toy" by Mr. Dierdorf and Mr. Aebersold - how much money was thus set in the sand? Who is responsible for that?

Now in any case will receive the society Anthroposophsiche no major contributions from the business office of the WELEDA. And the anthroposophic medicinal products are reduced to some standard means that to be prepared on an industrial scale (whether the guarantee of quality yet ???). The two main tasks of the WELEDA - Financing of the Anthroposophical Society and development and production of anthroposophic medicinal products - are, in any event clear.

Who can read annual reports and not from the nice words can hide that recognizes the Annual Report 2008, a report of failure across the board. The choices that I just under 10 Jaren had already claimed (intranet, outsourcing of specialized medical products Tino in pharmacies), are now being made - where the train has already gone half the point. Other roles included the development of a functioning distribution in East, Southeast and South Asia and an advanced corporate structure with employee participation, are still waiting for implementation.

I'm obviously on one side for the cause of much suffering, on the other hand, it gives me yet with enough Tung, that the predictions and fears that I made my being thrown out (and for which I had to go) arrived, and that now, with almost 10 years late, Some measures are implemented, which I proposed at that time. I'm curious if the other measures come, or whether WELEDA by then in liquidation - as the HeartBalance AG is indeed now.

- Small, but interesting side note: The annual report highlighted the supplier of Essential oils from Egypt. In Egypt there are SEKEM - and in anthroposophy SEKEM is lived. But SEKEM was too uncomfortable - I had tried during my time as Expoertverantwortlicher at WELEDA to establish contacts with SEKEM and intensify - for example, to develop jointly a SEKEM for aisatische and Arab skin types suitable and suitable for tropical WELEDA Cosmetics Series - But met with resistance even then in management. Why not refer WELEDA essential oils of SEKEM?
