New research: consumer demand
for ‘clean’ beauty is an opportunity to
galvanise sector action on Net Zero
A
report assessing the
credibility of the Net Zero
commitments of the ten
highest revenue global
beauty and personal care companies
shows the sector has a window of
opportunity to go further and faster
on Net Zero.
Despite growing demand for ‘clean’
beauty products, new research has
found none of the world’s ten leading
beauty brands have independently
6
validated Net Zero targets.
It also found three of these
companies have failed to publicly
commit to reaching Net Zero at all,
and at least two reporting a rise in
their greenhouse gas emissions in the
last year.
The report, Greenhouse gloss: is the
beauty industry’s commitment to
tackling climate change more than
skin deep? was released today by the
Carbon Trust’s Net Zero Intelligence
