OUR SUSTAINABILITY APPROACH

We have been a companion in people's lives for more than 140 years. Care has been the constant driver to delight our consumers with innovations and create a lasting impact in the world around us. Today, we touch billions of lives with our products every day – with global brands that stand for healthy skin and wellbeing. Moving forward, it’s key for us to deliver skin care performance and affordability to our consumers, while transforming our products with Care and acting on our responsibility towards society and the environment. We want to shape the future of our industry with suppliers, experts, peers and policy makers – allowing both economic growth and impact at scale.

OUR SUSTAINABILITY STRATEGY

Our “Sustainability Agenda” is anchored in our “Win with Care” company strategy and aims to create a positive impact for people and the planet. All our sustainability efforts are designed to support the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

At the heart of our evolved “Sustainability Agenda” are Care, Consumers, and Credibility, represented by the C. This shared foundation translates into action through our four interconnected impact areas: Climate Action, Conservation of Nature, Circular Transformation, and Community & People Resilience. Each reflects a vital part of our commitment to building a more sustainable future.
