“You don’t need a superhero to save the planet – small changes can make a big impact”
At Von Beauty our aim is to be a force for positive change. In a world of disposable beauty, we want to empower people to make better choices by offering sustainable alternatives to single-use beauty products that won’t harm our planet.
As a growing business, we know we are not perfect but seek to reduce our environmental footprint in everything we do, from the raw materials used to make our products to the packaging they are shipped in, and the spaces we work in. Here are some of the ways in which we are doing this:
Carbon Positive
-
We are Carbon Positive Certified, which essentially means we remove more greenhouse gas emissions that we produce. To achieve this, we’ve partnered with Earthly, an organisation that helps businesses offset their carbon footprint and support nature-based climate solutions. After offsetting our carbon footprint in full, we invested in three Earthly projects across the globe:- Mangrove Planting in Madagascar
- Brazil Nut Concessions in Madre Dios
- Mai Ndombe Rainforest Protection
To date, we have removed 19.02t of carbon and have supported an area of 26,608 sq/m and planted 19 trees. To keep track of our progress, please visit our Earthly profile here. -
