“The EcoBeautyScore Consortium is a unified step
by all major international companies to create a uniform, global rating system
for the sustainability assessment of cosmetics in order to provide consumers
with scientifically sound criteria for improved, sustainable product choices,” says Dr. Gerhard Benner, Manager Corporate Regulatory Affairs at Beiersdorf.
Dorle Bahr, Head of Environmental Sustainability,
adds: “The EBSC will make an important contribution to providing consumers
with guidance on environmental compatibility in their purchasing decisions in
the cosmetics sector – on a scientifically sound basis.”
The members
aim to develop a first prototype for the scoring system by the end of 2022,
initially providing sustainability scores for a limited selection of product
categories.
