We are a certified B Corporation™
What is B Corp?
B Corp Certification is granted by the non-profit B Lab to companies that are independently verified against its standards for social and environmental performance, transparency and accountability, and that have made a legal commitment to consider all their stakeholders.
Our brands LUMENE and CUTRIN were first certified in 2024. In June 2026, they were recertified under B Lab’s new standards, and IDA WARG Beauty was certified for the first time. The new standards replace the previous points-based assessment with mandatory minimum requirements across seven impact topics, including climate action, human rights and governance, verified by an independent third party. Requirements increase at the three- and five-year marks of each certification cycle.
In June 2026, Lumene Group was among the first companies in the world to be re-certified under the new standards, and at the time, the only Nordic beauty company to have done so.
Lumene Group has been pioneering Circular Beauty for over 20 years, and the B Corp Certification underscores our unwavering commitment to driving positive change in the beauty industry.
Our sustainability journey does not end with B Corp Certification. It’s an important step along the way, and we will continue to build on our commitment to use our business as a force for good.
Why is B Corp important to us?
More than 20 years ago, we launched our first upcycled ingredient, derived from a side stream of the food industry. It was an early step in applying circular economy principles to our business. Today, B Corp Certification gives us an independent, third-party assessment of how we perform across our whole company, not just in selected areas.
Our work is structured around three pillars:
- Circular beauty: We work to increase circularity across our value chain, from upcycled ingredients to packaging. In 2024, our material circularity rate was 62%, measured with the Circular Transition Indicators framework.
- Climate action: We work to reduce our GHG emissions across our value chain as our business grows. Separately from our emission reductions, we support wetland restoration projects.
- Social responsibility: We work to ensure health and safety in our workplaces, carry out responsible sourcing and due diligence in our supply chain, and promote diversity, equality, and inclusion in our product portfolio and marketing.
