RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES RESTRUCTURING INITIATIVES
Natura &Co - Avon Integration
Subsequent to the merger of Natura &Co and Avon in January 2020, an integration plan (the "Avon Integration") was established to create the right global infrastructure to support the future ambitions of the Natura &Co while also identifying synergies and opportunities to leverage our combined strength, scale and reach. Synergies will be derived mainly from procurement, manufacturing/distribution and administrative, as well as top-line synergies, primarily between Avon LATAM and Natura &Co Latin America.
Open Up & Grow
In May 2020, the new leadership of Avon International refreshed our strategy ("Open Up & Grow") which aims to return Avon International to growth for future years. Open Up & Grow replaces and builds on the success of the Open Up Avon strategy, launched in 2018 and continues to strengthen competitiveness through enhancing the representative experience, accelerating digital rep journey and accessing omnichannel, improving brand position and relevance, accelerating digital expansion and improving costs. Savings are expected to continue to be achieved through restructuring actions (that may continue to result in charges related to severance, contract terminations and asset write-offs), as well as other cost-savings strategies that would not result in restructuring charges.

The charges above are not included in segment profit (loss), as this excludes CTI restructuring initiatives. The amounts shown in the tables above as charges incurred to date relate to initiatives that have been approved and recorded in the consolidated financial statements, as the costs are probable and estimable. The amounts shown in the tables above as total expected charges
on approved initiatives represent charges recorded to-date plus charges yet to be recorded for approved initiatives as the relevant accounting criteria for recording an expense have not yet been met.
