Gaining a Perspective of Possibility for Health and Sustainability in the world’s second largest market - brought to you by Greening Beauty
[press release] August 2011 – Join LOHAS Asia in Shanghai from September 9-14 to unravel some crucial insights for the health and sustainability market in China.
Helping suppliers and attendees to the Eco Lifestyles Fair 2011 to fully understand their new consumer before the fair, The Wellness Works, Asia Pacific LOHAS, Greenovate, Hotpoint Consulting and LOHAS Online have designed a program of tours, workshops and strategic meetings over four days so that attendees can meet like-minded multi-national executives cross category who will learn with you and listen to showcases of small LOHAS companies currently in the market.
Co-hosted by LOHAS China Country Manager Amena Lee Schlaikjer and Adam Horler, President of Asia Pacific LOHAS Pte. Ltd., attendees will be well prepared for the Eco Lifestyles Fair having gained valuable key insights into new behaviours and touch points:
· Who is the new LOHAS consumer and what are their values and concerns?
· What can you do as a company to take advantage of this new market?
· Is it more challenging to develop sustainable practices here in China?
THE LOHAS Asia and NMI research on China from January 2010 questioned 1,000 consumers across the five cities of Beijing, Chengdu, Dalian, Guangzhou and Shanghai. Results showed that 88% agreed that it is important for companies to be mindful of their impact on society. With China having overtaken Japan as the world’s second-biggest economy, the LOHAS consumer demand is on the rise month by month and there is an urgency for the market to respond.

Adam Horler
President, LOHAS Asia
Having charted a highly successful career path through the likes of P&G, L’Oreal, red earth (Esprit), AS Watson and Molton Brown (Kao), Adam decided to leave the “comfy armchair” of corporate life in Nov 2008.
More than half his business life has been spent working in Asia, moving to Hong Kong from England in April 1998 and then to Singapore in Sep 2006. His corporate travels have taken him all over Asia; from the capital cities to the countryside; from mega malls to the smallest regional wholesale markets; from Japan to New Zealand to India; all in search of the Asian consumer and what makes them tick.
Asia-Pacific LOHAS is the result of his journey, a regional social enterprise seeking to educate millions of consumers that consumption can be done in a better way and helping facilitate the growth of the LOHAS business community to serve these consumers.
