Our Responsibility Towards the Nature
At Optima Natura, we believe that caring for human well-being must go hand in hand with caring for the natural environment. Nature is not only part of our name – it is the foundation of our philosophy, products, and business decisions.
In 2024, Optima Natura proudly joined Commit for Our Planet, a sustainability initiative led by Cosmetics Europe, the European leading association for the cosmetics industry. This voluntary program sets specific environmental commitments to support a more sustainable future for the sector and for society.
Our Commitments under Commit for Our Planet:
Climate – Greenhouse Gas Emissions
- Implementation of a system to measure and monitor Scope 1 and Scope 2 greenhouse gas emissions, in line with the GHG Protocol.
- Goal – full reporting of emissions and identification of reduction areas.
Packaging & Recycling
- Expanding information on our product labels and packaging regarding proper sorting rules, in accordance with local recycling systems.
- Conducting information campaigns on social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn) to increase consumer awareness of recycling and responsible packaging management.
- Analyzing and increasing the share of recycled materials in glass, metal, and paper packaging.
- Reducing the use of uncertified, virgin wood-based materials in packaging.
Acting for Nature in our Operations
- Systematic measurements of water consumption and the amount and type of waste generated.
- Analysis of monthly and annual data to identify areas requiring improvement and further environmental action.
Education & Engagement
For us, sustainability is an ongoing journey that includes:
- educating our employees,
- working with responsible suppliers,
- transparent communication with customers and business partners.
Through Commit for Our Planet, we aim not only to meet expectations but to actively contribute to building a more responsible and sustainable cosmetics industry.
