Safeguard Nature

Protecting and preserving nature for ecosystems that sustain us all.

Nature is a source of inspiration for our business, providing the raw materials that fuel our innovation, while reminding us of our responsibility to protect and preserve natural ecosystems.

Our 1,600 ingredients sourced from 350 plant species highlight our reliance on a healthy and diverse ecosystem. As we transition to more bio-based ingredients, we are committed to responsible and sustainable sourcing. To guide our nature-related actions, we adopt the three pillars of the conservation hierarchy: Avoid, Reduce, Restore & Regenerate while aiming at transforming the overall systems our value chain depends on. We are investing in partnerships and solutions that safeguard biodiversity and regenerate landscapes.

Water is another critical focus of our nature pillar. We are committed to responsible water stewardship throughout our value chain and across our communities. This includes optimizing our industrial processes and resource use, as well as creating products that help consumers require less water for their everyday beauty and hygiene needs - especially in water-stressed regions.

These interconnected efforts on biodiversity and water are essential for enhancing climate adaptation while strengthening ecosystem services for improved community resilience.
