SUSTAINABLE VALUE CHAIN

A sustainable value chain in the beauty business involves the integration of environmental, social, and economic considerations throughout the product’s life cycle – from product development to production until the end-of-life of our products. As a cosmetics industry company, we find it a high priority that the product quality and safety are ensured throughout the whole value chain.

We enable circular economy practices together with our value chain; in collaboration with our business partners and by reaching our global consumers. We have open and honest communication, enabling consumers to make informed choices. We provide our customers and consumers with circular beauty products that meet the needs of modern consumers, ensuring ethical sourcing and minimizing environmental impact. By working together across the value chain, we see innovation and partnerships as the way forward in creating beauty products for a better future.
