Sustainability
The big picture: PCPC defines sustainability to include the environmental impacts, social and economic value, and governance of the beauty and personal care products industry.
Why it matters: Managing the environmental, social and governance (ESG) dimensions of business operations requires a focus on continuous improvement with measurement tools and management strategies to operate responsibly and integrate sustainable practices along the entire lifecycle of our industry’s products.
PCPC’s role: PCPC supports our member companies’ sustainability practices through best practice sharing, stakeholder education and engagement, and strategic communications and storytelling.
- PCPC’s 2021 “Creating a More Beautiful World” sustainability report highlights
the innovative ways member companies have integrated sustainability into their business practices. The 2019 sustainability report was the first of its kind.
- PCPC developed a Sustainability Handbook: Practical Guidance Toward Best Practice to support small- and medium-sized companies in their sustainability initiatives.
