Ren teamed with competitors Biossance, Caudalie, Herbivore and Youth to the People, which jointly made sustainability pledges as a part of the campaign.

Today, it's just certainly one of many sustainability partnership initiatives that has emerged involving beauty firms large and small. “We're in a context of climate urgency, and so it’s really critical that every one forces mobilize for higher results,” said Clémence Gosset, director of consumer information at L’Oréal’s Corporate Responsibility department. “We'd like to place collaboration at the...
