Sector focus
Blossom: Beauty and fragrances
UEBT began in the beauty sector with some of our first members and its work is really beginning to blossom in 2021. We have iconic brands that have joined and many have made significant commitments to verify or certify their ingredients across one or more product lines in the coming few years.
UEBT’s work with the fragrance sector has also blossomed. Members such as LMR Naturals by IFF, Dior, Kenzo Parfums, Givenchy Parfums, Firmenich, LVMH Recherche Parfums & Cosmétiques, Robertet, and several others have stepped up their engagement and work.
Our 2021 fragrance roundtable brought together four leaders to explore how to achieve impact within the sector and what are the levers for change.
‘Our products can show the way - in many circumstances - that we can have a positive contribution to biodiversity.’
Dominique Roques, VP Responsible Procurement, Firmenich
Grow: Herbs and spices
UEBT forged its partnership with Rainforest Alliance this year to begin to provide significant support to the herbs and spices sector. Many new companies have achieved certification in 2021 alone and joined UEBT’s group of committed companies. See some examples in the map below.
