The Beauty Industry is coming together to transform its impact on the world.

“As members of the B Corp Beauty Coalition, we envision a new approach to beauty that prioritises soil as much as skin, nature as much as natural, evidence as much as ego, and impact as much as performance [...]”

In this episode we talk with Shaun Rusell - Chair of the Supervisory Board in B Corp Beauty Coalition and Founder of Skandinavisk and Paolo Braguzzi - Initiator of the B Corp Beauty Coalition, member of the Supervisory Board of B Lab Europe, and an author of “L’impresa for good” about why we should stop being consumers in favor of being citizens, why we should aspire to regeneration instead of sustainability and why positive impact is only possible when we decide to see partners were we saw rivals.

We sat down with Kamil Kluza, co-founder of Climate X to talk about climate-related risks in the global economy. We discussed how data and AI can be harnessed to climate-proof businesses and create resilient risk strategies, risk modeling and the potential ROI of implementing ML and AI advancements. Can we better predict and mitigate extreme events, as well as the competencies of futureclimate risk in business?

Is it possible to put the brakes on fast fashion and make it more sustainable?

The prevalence of fast fashion makes this industry largely unsustainable. However, there are a rising number of brands committed to making fashion more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

As part of our Sustainability in Retail series of Disruption Talks, we invited Silvia Mazzanti, Product and Sustainability Manager at Save The Duck, and Laura Vicaria, CSR Manager at MUD Jeans International BV, to talk about their sustainable brands. Jinder Kang, Innovation Consultancy Lead at Netguru, also joined the conversation.

MUD Jeans is a circular denim brand that produces high-quality, sustainable jeans. The company aims to recycle every single pair after use. Save the Duck’s mission is to create products that respect animals, the environment, and people, thanks to cutting-edge technologies that allow them to use sustainable materials.

How sustainable are the brands you purchase from? In the past, not many people will have asked this question, but things are changing.

Sustainability has become an increasingly crucial factor in purchasing decisions. According to a recent survey by IBM, 60% of consumers are willing to change their shopping habits to reduce environmental impact.

Nearly eight in 10 respondents indicate sustainability is important for them. Of those who say it is very/extremely important, over 70% would pay a premium of 35% more, on average, for brands that are sustainable and environmentally responsible.

Awareness and education have been key to this shift in consumer behavior. People are demanding more transparency from brands they buy from, thanks to the likes of ecolytiq.

In this episode of the new Disruption Talks series, Sustainability in Retail, Jinder Kang, Innovation Consultancy Lead at Netguru, and Gio Giacobbe, CEO at ACBC, talk about whether brands can stay authentic while being sustainable.

How do we combat the growing food waste problem?

According to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations, reducing food loss and waste is key to reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pressure on land and water resources. An estimated 17% of total global food production is wasted, and 11% of that occurs in households.

However, if we are to improve sustainability in retail, we can’t ignore the 2% of estimated food waste in retail as well. Huge amounts of edible food are thrown out at supermarkets around the world, and the solution is not a clear-cut one.

In this episode of Disruption Talks, part of the ‘Sustainability in Retail’ series, Jinder Kang and Patrick Rowse discuss the food waste problem and sustainable technology in retail.

Jinder Kang is the Innovation Consultancy Lead at Netguru and is an advocate of human-centered design to drive businesses forward through product, service, and business strategy.

Patrick Rowse is the Sustainability Manager at Delivery Hero. As an experienced sustainability professional, Patrick has a passion for the environment and innovation. He is motivated by the concept of "tangible good" and using environmental economics to build sustainability directly into core business strategy.
