Yves Rocher mentioned in biodiversity article
PARIS - The cosmetics industry is about beauty, but it is also increasingly about biodiversity as consumers show a growing awareness of environmental issues and the loss of biodiversity. As a wishful wink to the 10th meeting of the UN Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD) in Nagoya, Japan in October 2010, the Union for Ethical BioTrade (UEBT) held a conference at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris on 15 April.
The event, named 'The Beauty of Sourcing with Respect,' gathered about 80 participants mainly from the cosmetics industry as the biotrade union sought to increase the sector's awareness about biodiversity, engage companies in the ethical sourcing of biodiversity, and advertise the actions of UEBT.
The UEBT is a non-profit association, with members from NGOs, international organisations and businesses. Companies seeking to be a UEBT member have to undergo external audits and prepare work-plans to bring their practices in line with the Ethical BioTrade standard over five years, UEBT Executive Director Rik Kutsch Lojanga told Intellectual Property Watch after the event.
