Credo Beauty sources with the environment in mind, and intentionally minimizes its emissions, waste, and harmful ingredients.

Credo Beauty has commitments to carry brands that meet environmentally-mindful criteria, and every brand carried must meet stringent ingredient and packaging requirements. The Credo Clean Standard serves as a benchmark of mindful operations in the industry. Many brands adhere to the standard and use it as a badge of trust.

Credo Beauty has targets and initiatives to improve its packaging materials and reduce its packaging intensity, though we'd like to see more packaging reporting. It also cofounded Pact Collective, which is used industry-wide to reduce waste and increase the circularity of containers and materials that often end up landfilled.

We hope to see Credo Beauty provide information on its renewable energy strategy or emissions measurement and reduction efforts in the future. It's often difficult for smaller organizations to gather this information.
