Select a luxury brand that also sells makeup products (e.g. Dior) and imagine you are the decision maker at the brand. 1. Read the article "Make-up's ugly secret: The plight of India's poor miners behind the beauty industry" by CNA. (The article can be accessed at https://www.channelnewsasia.com/cnainsider/make-up- ugly-secret-plight-india-mica-miners-beauty-industry-1392471 ) Assume that your brand currently uses mica in its makeup products. Are you agreeable to continuing using mica? Explain why.

2. Recall that the key focus of the social dimension of sustainability is to promote employees' health and safety, acceptable working conditions, human rights, etc while maintaining a positive impact on the peripheral community along the supply chain. Outline socially sustainable practice(s) applicable to your brand. You should come up with specific and novel ideas. How would these practice(s) affect your brand's supply chain?
