LUSH
LUSH has a Good rating because it uses 100% renewable electricity in its operations and effectively reduces its packaging waste, which is a big part of the industry's footprint.
LUSH offers waterless formats and ephemeral packaging for many products to reduce its waste and emissions impact, and it also uses majority-recycled plastic for its product containers. It has a widespread takeback program for these containers, and it reports on the program's efficacy. LUSH also provides a clear breakdown of its emissions drivers, and reports on its corporate waste diversion.
However, LUSH doesn't make many ingredient commitments and still uses some climate-threatening ingredients, including parabens. It shares multiple insetting strategies, but lacks clear reduction targets. We hope to see further progress in the future.
