Sustainable Beauty Coalition

Britain pledged to protect and conserve at least 30% of the country’s land and sea by 2030, however a new report shows that we are not on track to hit the target in the next six years. By shopping from beauty brands that put biodiversity first, like WELEDA UK and Neal's Yard Remedies, you can do your bit to help to fulfil the commitment.

Jayn Sterland, Managing Director at WELEDA UK, spoke with Natural Pharmacy Business on B Corp Certification and what it means for the business, customers and industry collaboration. 'Becoming a B Corp company... allows us to be part of a collaborative and supportive community who want to work together to solve some of the larger, systemic problems of our industry like packaging. Together we are stronger and we will get there faster.'

Sustainable sourcing is about more than ingredients and packaging; it is about ensuring social, ethical and environmental ways of working when choosing suppliers throughout the whole of your supply chain. The Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT) promotes sustainable and ethical sourcing of natural ingredients, ensuring biodiversity and fair trade practices. Support a more sustainable future by looking out for the ‘Sourcing with Respect’ on your beauty packaging.

The Sustainable Beauty Coalition (SBC), a working group facilitated by the British Beauty Council, unites cross-industry stakeholders to promote and implement more sustainable and eco-friendly practices.

With 95% of cosmetic packaging thrown away, bottles, pumps, sachets and tubs are one of the biggest sustainability challenges facing the beauty industry. LUSH’s Naked shampoo bars have stopped people disposing of 170 million plastic bottles, preventing over 4,000 tonnes of plastic waste. Switching to naked or solid products is a greener choice for more sustainable beauty.
