Eco Friendly Eminence – Their Guide In 7 Steps
Eco-Friendly and Eminence Organics simply put – go hand in hand, like peas in a pod and of course soul mates! All these descriptions come to mind when we talk about Eminence and Eco-Friendly practices and philosophies.
It is one of the many reasons The Skinsmith is proud to partner with and be the authorised distributor for Eminence across the UK and parts of Europe.
Eco-friendly is a term we have all become familiar with but what does it really mean?
The Cambridge dictionary describes it as
“Eco-friendly means not harmful to the environment. Short for "environmentally friendly", the term applies to products, practices, laws, and lifestyles designed to reduce, minimize, or eliminate damage to Earth's ecosystems”
If you have ever wondered how a company like Eminence embraces and encourages eco-friendliness, here’s a guide to what they do to make every day an Earth Friendly Day!
Eminence’s Eco-Friendly Steps
1. We Plant A Tree For Every Product Sold!
Eminence has for many years partnered with Forests For The Future, a program that plants a tree for every retail skin care product purchased, it not only provides trees for planting but trains and supports farmers and communities in developing countries. The Forests for the Future™ program helps farmers build productive and sustainable crops and farms. This in turn supports their local communities, enabling them to grow their own food and build sustainable incomes throughout those communities. This program has planted more then 30 million trees in over 22 countries around the world.
What is also amazing is that one tree can produce approximately 260 pounds of oxygen per year. Trees help reduce the effects of climate change by helping to reduce air temperature, they also help to improve soil fertility and reduce soil erosion with their roots.
Eminence has also partnered with Veritree and I.CARE to help support our oceans, working to re-plant kelp farms and coral reefs. This helps to improve the health of the oceans, supporting oceanic wildlife, reducing wave erosion and helping to reduce CO2.
2. Their Own Eminence Green Spa Program
"Spa businesses must meet 60% of our green requirements in order to be recognized as an Eminence Organics Green Spa"
Eminence’s Green Spa Program is a great way to support business partners with Eminence and The Skinsmith on their own journey to more eco-friendly practices.
A spa/salon partner should meet 60% of Eminences green requirements to be considered an Eminence Organics Green Spa or salon. These requirements include options such as using bio-degradable products where possible, using recycled products and participating in a recycling program themselves, choosing LED, low energy lighting and equipment where they can and turning off lights and equipment when not In use. Another suggestion for spas and salons is to use non-toxic, natural cleaning products and supplies and avoid where possible harsh chemical based products.
Once approved the spa or salon can shout about being an Eminence Green Spa and get a certificate and logo to add to their own marketing.
3. Eminence Is Proud To Be A Certified B Corporation®
Did you know that Eminence was the first Canadian professional skin care company to be certified as a B Corporation® company. As such you need to meet the highest of standards in areas such as social and environmental performance, be transparent and accountable and use the power of business to do good.
Eminence tells us
“The certification measures a company’s entire social and environmental performance with the B Impact Assessment evaluating how a company’s operations and business model affects its workers, community, environment and customers.”
4. Eco-Friendly Packaging: Re-used by The Skinsmith!
Eminence uses eco-friendly, recyclable packaging where possible. Their boxes and marketing materials are printed with eco-friendly inks and made from FSC certified materials which are identified by the FSC as products made from 100% virgin material sourced from FSC-certified forests. Packing peanuts are made from potato or corn starch and are water-soluble and biodegradable with no hazardous waste. Here at The Skinsmith we re-use as much packaging from our Eminence shipments as we can to reduce the use of new packaging materials being purchased and manufactured.
5. Sustainable Shipping Materials
Along with their eco-friendly product packaging Eminence is eco-friendly when it comes to shipping as well. Recycled paper, boxes and packaging materials used to protect shipped items are chosen and natural product are sourced first.
6. Green Company, With A Green Eminence Building
Eminence has upsized recently to a new eco-friendly office, they made sure they kept their green commitment in the forefront of this move so instead of constructing a new building they expanded their existing building and hereby reduced the carbon footprint for the expansion. Their office makes use of natural light with larger windows and skylights, resulting in a lower need of artificial lighting. The floor is made from 60% recycled materials and the office is painted with non-toxic paints. LED lighting is everywhere and energy-efficient electrical equipment is the chosen one! Timers are used along with motion sensors and a sortable waste disposal includes a section for compostable materials as well.
7. Eminence Organics Paper Bags
Recently redesigned Eminence provides paper bags for their spa and salon partners to use. They are crafted from recycled material and are biodegradable. The hands are woven from paper and vegetable inks are used for the printing. They are designed to make carrying your products an eco-friendly, convenient option as oppose to more traditional carrier bags which may not contribute to the recycling chain.
Eminence notes that
“As a company, we’re inspired daily by the creative ways that others take proactive action to make our planet a happier and healthier place. We’re also extremely proud to say that our business partners, loyal Spa Partners and Eminence Organics fans are all doing their part for the green movement.”
