The cosmetics industry accounts for 1% of global greenhouse gas emissions—a small yet significant impact. As the sector works toward achieving Net Zero and ensuring credible sustainability claims, many companies are setting science-aligned targets. However, challenges persist in reducing emissions from sourcing, processing, shipping raw materials, and packaging. Regulations like the Green Claims Directive aim to combat greenwashing and protect consumers from misleading claims.
