SUPPLIER RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT
It is not just the ingredients that need scrutiny; how they’ re packaged matters just as much. Albéa Group, one of the world’ s largest cosmetics packaging suppliers, sits between two very different pressures: brand clients like CHANELdemanding sustainability proof and the raw material producers several tiers upstream who actually hold it.
Meeting those client targets means verifying where PCR plastic, aluminium and other circular materials really come from, which is often several tiers deep in Albéa’ s own supply chain. That’ s why Albéa joined TRASCE as a founding packaging member, using Transparency- One to bring its suppliers onto one shared traceability protocol instead
of managing verification alone. The results back it up. Albéa hit its 2030 Scope 1 and 2 emissions target early, cutting emissions by more than 55 % against a 46 % goal. Its EcoVadis score has climbed to 80 %, earning Gold status in the top 5 % of companies assessed globally.
That same framework underpins Albéa’ s Sustainable Procurement Charter, streamlining audits that make claims like these verifiable rather than aspirational. It’ s also what makes products like the Greenleaf PCR tube, unveiled at PCD 2026 with 50 % recycled plastic content, credible on shelf. Traceability is what lets Albéa prove where that material came from.
