But first things first: The Swiss voters' approval of the Swiss People's Party immigration initiative in February 2014 was more scary than refreshing. Polemics and scaremongering led to a result whose consequences voters certainly were unaware of. However, the government must implement this voting result within three years. This will not leave the Swiss economy unscathed. Particularly industry sectors that depend on highly qualified employees will suffer, so much is for certain. The plain rejection of the Ecopop initiative in November, however, gave me hope as an open-minded Swiss citizen. We apparently have not forgotten after all that a healthy and sustainable Switzerland relies on a healthy economy and that we cannot maintain and develop such healthy economy without qualified employees and other positive factors from abroad. After all, the Swiss values, which we have discussed at great length as part of the whole Swissness subject, do not come from "within" but from "without". They have been developed over many years and can only survive thanks to a busy trade, inventive spirit and an open mind. The Swiss political and economic sectors have been maintaining international links for many decades and they only achieve their success through a multitude of success factors such as security, being a constitutional democracy and a liberal political environment, but mostly through being open-minded, approachable and creative. Our economy's extraordinary achievements have provided us with wealth and security for many years.
But how can we ensure that these values continue to flourish in our country in the future? The answer is rather simple: • Recognising risks but also grabbing opportunities! • Reducing bureaucracy and lowering administrative expenses! • Acting responsibly and promoting responsibility! • Creating jobs with a high degree of value creation! • Accepting as well as demanding rights! • Demanding and nurturing social justice! • Being innovative and open to all things new! Does this sound familiar? Of course – we also know how a bucket full of icy water feels and it may still be more refreshing to stand under such bucket in person! We cannot repeat this request often enough.
Preamble
No, I did not participate in the ice bucket challenge, but I found 2014 very refreshing just the same! The many market fluctuations, numerous interesting political developments and, most of all, the talks with private individuals, business partners and within SKW "refreshed"my senses.
2014 was a relatively balanced year for SKW. It was nevertheless a successful year and we were able to gain new members and also actively impact the framework conditions and strengthen the association's position in the national environment. We managed to achieve this goal thanks to SKW's determined and wise management by Dr. Bernard Cloëtta, our Managing Director, and his "allies" in the Administrative Office as well as the active efforts of my colleagues on the Managing Board. I would like to say a big thank you to all of them at this point! I look forward to actively backing the projects started in 2014 and wish you all a refreshing 2015.

SKW Annual Report 2014 Preamble 3
Dossiers
Swiss Law Both the industrial and political sectors have an interest in bringing national law in line with EU law. The introduction of the Cassis-de-Dijon principle, on the one hand, and the amendment of Swiss law help to minimise trade barriers. Swiss laws that differ from EU laws increase the price of products if manufacturers must use special wording or labelling just for Switzerland. Labour and operating costs are very high in Switzerland and together with the strong Swiss franc this creates significant price differences to identical products in the EU. Additional taxation through technical trade barriers should therefore be prevented.
SKW Annual Report 2014 Dossiers 4
SKW supported the following amendments of the law during talks with government agencies and through written statements and informed its members about this:
Regulation of Chemicals
Total revision of the Chemicals Ordinance The Globally Harmonised System (GHS) for the classification and labelling of preparations as from 1 June 2015 was introduced as an obligation in this revision. The previous regulations have been revoked. The revision also specifies the various players who purchase chemicals.
4. Revision of the Chemicals Risk Reduction Ordinance (Chemikalien-RisikoreduktionsVerordnung – ChemRRV) The main reason for the fourth revision of the Chemicals Risk Reduction ordinance was the development of the EU law. The law was amended to prevent trade barriers. Apart from the development in the EU, the experiences gained during the execution by the industry and its feedback with regard to certain regulations of the Chemicals Risks Reduction Ordinance gave reason to amendments.
incurred by the cantons for the VOC Ordinance. Plans are also to add benzyl alcohol to the VOC positive list at the nex trevision.
Cosmetics Law
On 20 June 2014, Parliament passed the Federal Council's proposal for a full revision of the Foodstuffs Act. Before enforcing the law, around 26 ordinances must now be revised. The total revision of the Foodstuffs Act (LMG) will facilitate the improved harmonisation of the Swiss Cosmetics Law with the new EU Cosmetics Regulation, among other things. No draft ordinance has been presented yet. Enactment of the new law and the relevant regulations is not expected before 2016.
«Switzerland is unique in its short paths to the key associations, which is also very advantageous for the Federal Agencies. These key associations, such as SKW, also have extensive expert knowledge that makes it possible to find innovative and practical solutions to future challenges in an
Trademark and Coat of Arms Protection Act (Swissness Template) Environmental Law
Revision of the CO2 Ordinance (CO2 -Verordnung) On 1 January 2013, the revised CO2 Act and the related Ordinance in the Reduction of CO2 Emissions (CO2 Ordinance) came into force. The bill for the amendment of the CO2 Ordinance specifies in more detail the execution of some climate policy instruments, removes uncertainties and integrates new findings from daily practice.
Revision of the VOC Ordinance (VOC-Verordnung) The ordinance will be amended based on a re-assessment of the compensation after the first year of executing the new exemption rule pursuant to Article 9 of the VOC Ordinance and the determination of the execution costs
open dialogue, particularly for issues such as the development of laws.»
Four ordinances are being revised and redeveloped and put through the consultation procedure in order to implement the Swissness law. The key objective of the regulations remains unchanged: The added value of the "Switzerland" designation and Swiss cross should be secured in the long term by increasing its protection and clarifying their criteria for use.
Dr. Roland Charrière, Deputy Director of the Federal Office of Public Health (BAG), Consumer Protection Directorate
SKW has specified industry-related matters such as the origin of raw materials, definition of costs and manufacturing steps in Switzerland in a "Cosmetics" industry ordinance and submitted it to the Swiss Federal Institute of Intellectual Property. Together with the other ordinances on the Swissness Template, this industry ordinance is expected to come into force in 2016.

Meetings and Events SKW Annual Report 2014 Meetings and Events 6
Compliance with Antitrust Laws – Naturally
Managing Board
Compliance with anti-trust law at all times is crucial for an association and its members. All member firms are fully aware of this fact.
The Managing Board met on 27 March and 26 November 2014. The focus was on the statutory agenda items such as finances and the preparation of the General Assembly and, primarily, the association's strategic targets and own business.
SKW applies strict anti-trust compliance rules. This is the only way to ensure that members can participate in the services and knowledge platform and benefit from the network.
General Assembly
The General Assembly was held on 24 April 2014 at the Zunfthaus zur Meisen, Zurich. The usual statutory business was discussed. None of the members of the Managing Board resigned. All of the members elected in 2013 remained in office. Thomas Früh, intracosmed Urnäsch, was re-elected as President and the previous members of the Executive Committee, Marco Baumann, Rausch, and Ralf T. Gehlen, P&G, were also re-elected. Dr. Ina Banik von Nielsen provided information on market developments and figures and Babette Sigg, President of the Consumer Forum kf, talked about "The responsible consumer".
Technical Commission
Work Group Professional Building Cleaning
ERFA – TK meeting
The meeting of the Work Group Professional Building Cleaning was held on 19 May 2014. Key topics were new developments in Swiss and EU Chemicals Laws on REACH and GHS/ CLP as well as the Work Group Professional Building Cleaning statistics, delays of the BAG biocidal product approval processes and the planned prohibition of the self-service of acidic cleaners.
An experience exchange between the members of the Technical Commissions took place on 2 July 2014 at the Volkshaus in Zurich. More than 50 people from Switzerland and abroad participated in this event. After a short introduction, the participants exchanged expert knowledge and experiences. The event was centred around the talks held by Dr. Cornelius Nussbaumer, President of the Swiss Flavour and Fragrance Industry Association (SFFIA), on the "Development and trends of fragrances and perfumes", Heribert Bürgy, BAG Chemicals Department, on "Innovations and Chemicals Law" and Marco Wischti, BAG, on "Official registration processes". It came to light that the member companies are dissatisfied with the existing software solution for the product registration process. BAG's representatives listened to these concerns and offered a closer cooperation to find ways to improve the process.
Chemicals Law Switzerland / EU Seminar On 14 November 2014, SKW held this seminar at the Novotel Zurich West. Dr. Christian Gründling, FCIO, gave a talk on the "Update of REACH/CLP in the EU", Sascha Nissen, A.I.S.E., on the "Project Product Environmental Footprint, PEF" and Dr. Brunhilde Kolp Buchs, BAG, on the "Revision of the Swiss Ordinance on Biocidal Products, OBP". With regard to the latter talk, the participants pointed out disconcerting delays in the processing of biocidal product applications by BAG. SKW discussed this with BAG and presented suggested solutions based on a member survey, which are being processed at present.
Work Group Professional Hair Care
The Work Group professional Hair Care met on 21 October 2014. Following the Administrative office information on the revision of the Cosmetics Law, the legal provision on Sunday work and ARGUS Online Media Monitoring, Kuno Giger, the President of coiffureSUISSE, provided details on the status of the joint sponsoring project in the form of events and trade shows. Kuno Giger will be appointed as Central President at the hairday 2015. «I had the pleasure and honour of holding a talk during the SKW event in November 2014. I was particularly impressed

National Associations and Organisations
International Associations and Organisations
The Managing Director maintains regular contact with all relevant national associations and organisations. Information was exchanged and talks held with:
International networking is essential for importing and exporting members. SKW has an excellent network that reaches far beyond national boundaries:
• Economiesuisse in the work groups Swissness, Anti-trust Law, Free Trade Agreement and Consumer Questions of which the Managing Director is a member.
• Its full memberships of the European um brella organisations A.I.S.E. and Cosmetics Europe and Cosmetics Europe provide SKW with an excellent European network.
• The industry associations with similar interests such as scienceindustries (chemical, pharmaceutical, biotech), or VSLF (lacquers and paint) and the Aerosol Association.
• A particularly close cooperation exists with the German and Austrian partner associa tions IKW (Germany) and FCIO (Austria). The Managing Director is a guest member of IKW's expert committees "Beauty care", "Detergents" and "Cleaning agents" and gets invited to their meetings.
• The Consumer Forum (kf); consumer con cerns regarding the industry and joint projects and publications were discussed. • Trade associations with which SKW main tains a close cooperation such as the Schweizer Fachverband für Kosmetik, SFK, the Swiss Society of cosmetic Chemists (Swiss SCC), SEPAWA (SEPAWA, Section Switzerland), Swissnaildesign, etc. • CoiffureSUISSE, which cooperates closely in joint projects such as the implementation and sponsorship of events (trainee hair dressing, hairdresser world championships and "hairday 2015"). • Export organisations that provide useful services for export companies and organise trade shows (Switzerland Global Enterprise) and the association swiss export.

Communication
Voice of the Industry The usefulness of an association depends on its recognition by the political sector, the media and NGOs and its ability to voice industry concerns in the right places. To do this, it requires a network, good representative status and trustworthy and transparent communication.
Day-to-day Media Work
In 2014, numerous media again inquired about market trends, market data, matters of legislation, law enforcement and ingredients. Day-to-day media work is an important element of the association's work. From statements to background talks, media work requires quick and coordinated action and simple language. The following statements were published or revised in 2014: • Plastic particles in cosmetic agents • Fragrance labelling • Cosmetics and hormone-like effects • Aluminium compounds • Deodorants and aluminium salts • Triclosan – Study results cannot be transferred into practice • Nanomaterials in cosmetics • Cosmetic product safety On 21 January 2014, the Managing Director was interviewed on the topic of microplastic particles in cosmetics on the TV show "Kassensturz".

Swiss law is different to other countries. Many international corporations no longer have own legal and technical departments in Switzerland. SKW is receiving an increasing number of enquiries from foreign companies and associations as a result.
Industry Association SFFIA
Information is only provided to companies that are members of their respective national associations. This enables SKW members in return to ask foreign associations to provide information on laws and registration rules.

Sustainability
Our Commitment
Sustainability Projects of the Companies in the Industry
Sustainability is a hot topic. Today, it no longer suffices to publicise great intentions in glossy brochures and on attractive websites. The public wants to see facts and figures. The companies in the cosmetics and detergents industry have realised this trend and teamed up at European level to participate in tangible sustainability projects.
Sustainability is a key issue both in the cosmetics and detergent and cleaning agents industry. Supported by the associations, the companies are the main players when it comes to implementing their sustainability strategies and measures. Our members are aware of this responsibility and volunteer to act in a sustainable manner. Companies are exclusively responsible for developing, designing and implementing their sustainability activities and all related communication. For the industry, sustainability is a symbiosis between economic success, social justice and environmental protection. Sustainable business is always based on economic success. A company can only live up to these important responsibilities if it is profitable. As an association, we promote the exchange of experience amongst our members and support the sustainability efforts made by our European umbrella organisations such as the "Charter for Sustainable Cleaning" by A.I.S.E. and the efforts of the "Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil" (RSPO) in the palm oil sector. We also inform the consumer and environmental organisations as well as traders about the industry's projects and issues, thus encouraging dialogue so that they may also contribute to the topic of sustainability. We regularly inform the responsible government agencies and NGOs about all sustainability projects in our industry.
SKW Annual Report 2014 Sustainability 16
The number of members has increased significantly in recent years. In 2004 we had 54 members and 87 members in 2014. More than 90 percent of the industry is organised under our roof. This significant representativeness is an important argument for the association's work to be taken seriously by the political sector, government agencies, stakeholders and the media.
