Conference Details:
- Title: “NATRUE: Driving the Global Shift to Sustainable, Natural and Organic Personal Care”
- Date: 12th September 2024
- Time: 12:45 to 13:05 BRT
- Abstract: Transparency and traceability are fundamental pillars driving the green and digital transitions towards a sustainable, circular and fair economy. Personal care products are integral to daily life, with the average consumer using at least seven different cosmetic products each day – from toothpaste and shampoo, to soap and deodorant. NATRUE will showcase how the cosmetics industry can leverage clear, concrete, and achievable sustainable tools, along with best practices, to effect significant positive change and align with UN SDGs. This presentation will share data-driven evidence and case studies that highlight our contributions to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainable development from production to consumer information.
The One Planet Network Forum 2024 gathers a diverse group of stakeholders, including the United Nations, national policymakers, industry leaders, civil society and innovators, to address pressing global challenges and explore collaborative solutions. Dr. Smith’s address will focus on the critical role of natural and organic certifications in driving industry-wide sustainability and meeting evolving consumer expectations.

NATRUE’s involvement in the One Planet Network Forum 2024 reflects its ongoing dedication to supporting sustainable practices and engaging with key stakeholders to shape the future of the cosmetics sector. The organization looks forward to contributing to the forum’s discussions and to forging new partnerships that advance shared goals of sustainability and innovation.
