Britain\u2019s beauty industry is being called on to unite in the creation of a new Sustainable Beauty Coalition<\/strong> and bring about \u201cbold urgent change,\u201d to better protect the planet and its people.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The call, made by the British Beauty Council, follows the publication of its landmark sustainability report:<\/strong> The Courage to Change.<\/a><\/p>\n

Commissioned by the Council, the report lays out a vision for how the \u00a328.4bn British beauty industry can better collaborate<\/strong> for the good of the planet.<\/p>\n

While the industry is already taking steps towards a more sustainable future, efforts are currently still \u201ctoo patchy and uncoordinated,\u201d the report said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe industry needs to come together around a shared vision,<\/strong> a commitment to deliver change at the pace, scale and scope necessary.<\/p>\n

\u201cIn short we need a Sustainable Beauty Coalition, spearheaded by the British Beauty Council to address the climate and ecological crisis,\u201d it added.<\/p>\n

The creation of the Sustainable Beauty Collation and a subsequent Framework for Action, would require the industry to \u201cbe courageous\u201d and to commit to a number of necessary changes<\/strong> and certain \u201ctrade-offs to ensure its long-term sustainability,\u201d the British Beauty Council said.<\/p>\n

The Framework will focus on key themes of climate biodiversity, waste and water<\/strong> and set ambitious targets for the industry to work towards on transparency, standards, education and innovation.<\/p>\n

Key actions for the Sustainable Beauty Collation will also include work to establish shared definitions and terminology to improve clarity for consumers.<\/p>\n

It will also seek to crack down on industry claims, ensuring that they are meaningful and consistent<\/strong> across businesses and to improve communication within the beauty industry, in a bid to engage consumers and help them make better choices.<\/p>\n

The report also highlights a significant consumer appetite for change, with around two thirds of consumers wanting brands to do more to improve the planet.<\/p>\n

One in seven British consumes already changed to more sustainable beauty products<\/strong> in the three months to July 2020, a survey of 3,000 UK adults conducted by Hubbub for the report, found.<\/p>\n

The survey also revealed that 39% of people wanted brands to produce more environmentally friendly products,<\/strong> while 59% of consumers said they would be willing to refill their beauty products.<\/p>\n

Commenting on the report, British Beauty Council chief executive Millie Kendall told TheIndustry.fashion: \u201cWithout a unified approach we are just going to keep going round in circles. \u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere is a clear government, and in fact global directive, to half our carbon emissions by 2030 and become net zero by 2050.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is a global emergency<\/strong> and what is at stake goes above and beyond the reputation of our industry, although our reputation will be elevated if we act now and do the right thing.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Courage to Change sponsors include Walgreen Boots Alliance, Hubbub, Seen Group, Timely, Matrix and Weleda.<\/p>\n
