SRM Standardising environmental impact Cross-industry change is an increasingly popular approach, stretching across finance sectors like the one Klarna operates within, SAP’ s software space and now beauty too – one of the fastest growing industries in the world. Whilst partnerships within the cosmetics industry usually take the shape of marketing collaborations, EcoBeautyScore is pioneering a different kind.
The EcoBeautyScore Association has launched the first global, science-based environmental scoring system tailored specifically for beauty and personal care products. This system addresses a critical need for a standardised, transparent way to measure and communicate environmental impact across the industry.
Jean-Baptiste Massignon, Managing Director of the EcoBeautyScore Association, explains that while“ sustainability has become a major focus in the beauty industry,” the lack of a“ standardised, sciencebased system for measuring and communicating environmental impact remains a key challenge.”
The current landscape is crowded with various eco-labels and claims that are often inconsistent or incomparable, creating confusion for consumers and opening the door for greenwashing.
