Launching its fifth edition, L’Oréal is back with the Sustainability Challenge 2021. It is an all-Digital Challenge that resonates with L’Oréal’s sustainability program.
This year, we are partnering with the world’s leading mass-market natural beauty brand – Garnier. When it comes to sustainability, Garnier has been committed for years; producing more natural formulas, using sustainable and fair-trade ingredients, even being the first to bring certified organic products to the mass skincare market. With the launch of its sustainability program Garnier Green Beauty, Garnier wants to go further, to shift the way the beauty industry operates and lead the change for all of us.
Garnier’s initiative Green Beauty is a complete end-to-end approach to sustainability. The aim is to transform every stage of Garnier’s value chain, reducing or eradicating environmental impact in the following areas:
