In this defining decade, brands will need to shift from being mere purveyors of products to champions of sustainable transformation and transparency.
We understand key industry challenges
Supply chain engagement
Supporting suppliers in adopting sustainability best practices on climate, biodiversity and plastics can significantly reduce the impact of upstream activities.
Product portfolio transformation
To become sustainable businesses, brands must take action through their products. Transforming your product portfolio through the integration of ecodesign and circularity has the potential to drive significant impact reduction across the value chain.
Distribution channel engagement
Active participation from distributors is essential to enabling circular solutions like product refills and bulk, reducing and optimizing marketing materials, and driving change through professional organizations.
Consumer engagement
The use phase is responsible for 40% of the sector’s impact. Changes in consumer habits through a mix of information, education and incentivization can help you reach your targets and deliver on your sustainability commitments.
Digital transformation
As the industry embraces sustainable practices along the value chain, requirements for reliable data and transparency are rapidly increasing. Key players need to develop and integrate technology solutions that will help measure, track and report sustainability performance at scale. Managing data flows is becoming pivotal to ensure seamless integration and ethical practices.
Key topics for the industry
2025 is set to be a transformational year for the cosmetics and personal care industry, driven by intensifying regulatory pressures and the urgent need to implement achievable sustainability strategies. From aligning with global regulations such as CSRD and EUDR, to addressing nature impacts and dependencies, as well as rethinking packaging, the industry must shift beyond compliance to develop ambitious and meaningful action plans. By prioritizing ecodesign and considering the environmental impact of their products at every stage of their lifecycle, companies can pave the way for a more sustainable future for beauty.
