This initiative encourages all cosmetics companies to take part in a joint industry effort to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, improve packaging solutions and act for nature.
As part of this, Cosmetics Europe will provide tools and guidelines to help companies meet their sustainability commitments. Each year, the association plans to report on overall action against the commitments to demonstrate the industry’s progress and positive impact on the environment.
