EBS: EcoBeautyScore

The EcoBeautyScore Consortium is responsible for an industry-wide environmental impact assessment and scoring system for cosmetics products. EBS provides companies with clear, transparent, and comparable environmental impact information, based on a common science-based methodology. This helps meet growing demand for greater transparency about the environmental impact of cosmetics products — across formula, packaging and usage. Indeed, a significant proportion of consumers (42%) is interested in buying brands that concentrate on circular and sustainable practices

How Quantis can help

We enable companies to make sustainable choices through an environmental impact assessment and scoring system.

Building a common resource

Quantis and the consortium work to ensure a robust and scientific approach to co-building an assessment methodology and scoring system that are guided by shared goals:

  1. A common method for measuring environmental impacts throughout the lifecycle of products, backed by the principles of the “Product Environmental Footprint” (the European Union’s PEF scientific method based on life cycle assessment (LCA) for quantifying the environmental footprint of products).
  2. A common database of environmental impact of standard ingredients and raw materials used in formulas and packaging, as well as during product usage.
  3. A common tool that enables the assessment of the environmental impact of individual products, usable by non-experts.
  4. A harmonized scoring system that enables companies, on a voluntary basis, to inform consumers about the environmental footprint of their cosmetic products. The methodology, database, tool and scoring system will be verified by independent parties.

This Consortium is open to all cosmetics and personal care companies, regardless of their size or resources.
