A holistic vision for a sustainable fragrance industry

Abstract

The fragrance industry embraced sustainability early on through natural sourcing and green chemistry approaches, even before these concepts were formalised. Today, competition, regulations, and consumer expectations call for a sincere and substantial implementation of sustainability across every dimension of the fragrance business. The United Nations Sustainable Development Goals provide a global framework of thinking. Aligning with these goals and recommendations can drive innovation, enhance social impact, and promote transparency, responding to environmental challenges and evolving consumer values.
