DAYSPA congratulates Australian natural skincare brand Jurlique on their first Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Award win in the “Eco Beauty” category for 2016.
The prestigious CEW Eco Beauty Award recognizes and honors beauty brands that have moved further toward the goal of sustainability. Entrants are scored based on a number of science-based sustainability criteria that recognize efforts to reduce the use of environmentally harmful materials and practices and increase consideration for human rights. CEW’s more than 6,000 members selected 212 finalists from more than 800 entries. Winners were ultimately chosen by the CEW Board of Governors, along with a select group of beauty industry members.
“This award is such an honor for Jurlique and our parent company, Pola Orbis Holdings, and we are thrilled to be recognized by CEW for our leadership in the space. Sustainability has been core to the brand’s DNA since we were founded 30 years ago and we continue to create products with the environment in mind at all times,” says Rose Fernandez, Vice President and General Manager, North America at Jurlique. “Over the last few years, our team has made an extraordinary effort to make our business even more sustainable to significantly reduce our carbon footprint, water usage and waste. For example, we’ve installed solar panels and a power production system at the Jurlique farm and warehouse, aiming to make us self-sufficient during summer. We reuse water from our factory to irrigate our crops at the farm. And we’ve switched our iconic Hand Cream range from aluminum to 100% recyclable plastic tubes. This change alone has reduced overall environmental impact by approximately 28% and a reduction of 70% in product waste. Our overall goal is 0% waste to landfill by 2020 at our farm and factory.”
