One of Eurofragance's main sustainability targets is to minimize waste at the company's sites over the next three years. The company aims to implement a transition towards a circular economy that will close the life cycle of waste, products and energy so that they become useful again and can be reincorporated into the production cycle.

In this sense, Eurofragance promotes various actions such as the sustainable management of waste through certified 100% recycled steel drums and the recovery of plastic beveling from adhesive labels. Eurofragance plans to publish its first sustainability report in the coming months. 

Laurent Mercier, CEO of Eurofragance, said, “Sustainability and corporate social responsibility are part of our DNA. With this membership, we formalize our commitment to the initiative and its principles, and we reaffirm our dedication to contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals.”
