THE GREEN COMPANY Attila Koronczay grew up in Budapest, Hungary until he and his brother moved to Vancouver, Canada in 1996 to pursue their dreams and bring natural, organic, and Biodynamic® skin care to North America. With a degree in engineering, Koronczay plays a key role in the vision of Eminence’s ongoing commitment to the environment, by ensuring all office and warehouses are dedicated to green practices, while also remaining directly involved in the day-to-day operations of the business, traveling to tradeshows, and participating in charitable events. He has since led Eminence to become the first professional skin care company in the world to become a Certified B Corporation®. "As a Certified B Corp, we’re at the helm of companies using the power of business to solve social and environmental problems." WHO I AM 1.
