📣The Traceability Alliance for Sustainable Cosmetics (TRASCE) consortium was announced last week, an initiative led by CHANEL to improve traceability within the sector to minimize links to illicit actors, forced labor, child labor, and deforestation. Other consortium partners include L'Oréal, The Estée Lauder Companies Inc., L’OCCITANE Group, Nuxe Group, Shiseido, and Groupe Clarins. This consortium presents an exciting opportunity for actors in the beauty industry to pool their resources to improve intelligence collection and monitoring to preemptively mitigate sourcing risks, from child labor in the mica supply chain in Madagascar, to shea butter linked to illicit actors in northern Côte d'Ivoire. To be successful, TRASCE will need to ensure it moves beyond using digital traceability tools as these are insufficient in providing an accurate analysis of the situation on the ground, particularly in fragile markets with limited digital ecosystems (where it matters most). By adopting a hybrid method combining digital forensics with field operations led by local experts, TRASCE consortium members will be able to fill traceability gaps and get a robust understanding of human rights, governance, and environmental trends on the ground, helping protect their brand by prioritizing the wellbeing of their workers and suppliers. https://lnkd.in/gcqkQy5e #traceability #humanrights #sustainability #cosmetics #cleanbeauty

This is a question we ask ourselves every day. The illusion starts there: "Chemical-free", "Organic", "Vegan" and "Crueltyfree" all seem eco-conscious. Where is the line? How to differentiate the real sustainable brands from the others? We asked three sustainable cosmetic leaders on this issue: #teamdrjosep Seed to Skin Tuscany and Rahua Beauty. Here is an inspiring discussion on achieving sustainable beauty. Words: Tolga Rahmalaroglu https://lnkd.in/da_RNWiz

🌴 Sharing my latest panel discussion on sustainability in the cosmetics industry with emphasis on the importance of cross-industry collaboration, collective action and sharing best practices to drive more impact within sustainable palm oil. 🤝 It is great to see how companies in the personal care sector are doing their bit to source sustainably and reduce emissions. But it is not enough. The more I deep dive into the personal care sector, the more I see the urgency in which companies MUST shake off from their individual goals and come together as a coalition to push the agenda on sustainability. https://lnkd.in/eMmh3U6q #HPCToday #Sustainability #RSPO #RSPONext20 #SustainablePalmOil tks | publisher, event organiser, media agency
