SÜRDÜRÜLEBİLİRLİK

5. DOĞADAN DOĞAYA (HAM MADDELER)

• WE DESIGN PRODUCTS THAT ARE CREATED ACCORDING TO SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT PRACTICES.

Our goal is to have all our suppliers committed to Lumene’s Supplier Code of Conduct by 2020. We follow carefully scientific research and take preventive and corrective actions in case of a possible safety or environment issue.

‌• WE INCREASE USE OF NATURAL ORIGIN INGREDIENTS AND INGREDIENTS DEVELOPED FROM SIDESTREAMS.

• WE ACTIVELY REDUCE USE OF SUBSTANCES WITH ENVIRONMENTAL CONCERNS.

The average share of naturally derived ingredients in our most strategic skin care categories has increased from 88% to 95% during the past four years. Our goal is to further increase the share of naturally derived ingredients in our formulas. Half of our various Nordic ingredients are developed from food or forest industry side streams.

For example, we have replaced micro-plastics in all of our rinse-off formulations with more sustainable alternatives of natural origin. This was done proactively, prior to regulatory restrictions. Last year we introduced Finnish birch bark powder, which was used as an exfoliating ingredient in our new cleansing products.

‌6. İSKANDİNAV DOĞASI

• NORDIC NATURE AS A SOURCE OF INGREDIENTS
‌ We use many ingredients from the Nordic nature and have many new ones in the pipeline, and the number has increased by 100% since 2015. Many of our products contain ingredients developed from cloudberries, bilberries, heather, sea weed, Sheep Polypore mushrooms, birch bark, Cottongrass and organic birch sap, for example.
‌
• WE DISCONTINUED USING PEAT
‌ Peat belongs – as the name suggests – in peatlands. Even though we used only a small amount in some of our products, we decided to abandon the use to show our support in protecting wetlands.
‌
• CONSERVATION OF WETLANDS
‌ We cooperate with the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation and Carbon Exchange in protecting and conserving wetlands. Our collaboration has resulted in the restoration of two swamps, Karhusuo and Pekkasuo and two new ones in 2020, Savansuo and Isovuoma. All four of these swamps are located in Finland. ‌

7. KOMÜNİTE VE PARTNERLER 

‌• EMPLOYMENT AND LIVELIHOOD
Almost all our products are manufactured in our factory in Espoo, southern Finland. ‌We source raw materials and ingredients from companies located in rural areas, many of which are in areas with high regional unemployment, and in doing so support generating work and economic growth in Finland.
‌
• NEW PRODUCTS FROM PACKAGING AND WASTE
We take responsibility for our waste and cooperate with a Finnish Packaging Recycling RINKI Ltd. which is a non-profit service company owned by Finnish industry and retail trade and founded in 1997 providing responsible packaging recycling solutions.
‌ ‌
‌• PARTNERING WITH FOOD AND FOREST INDUSTRIES
‌ ‌In collaboration with our partners, we make use of the side-streams of food and forest industries to promote circular economy.
‌
• SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
‌ We assume social responsibility by giving back in cooperating with the Finnish Association for Nature Conservation, Carbon Exchange, Girls’ House (a social youth work organisation) and with different educational institutions.
