Sustainability

 

 

Cosmetia's Sustainability Programme


Sustainable development is defined as: “Development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.”

 

Sustainability integrates environmental, economic and social aspects of business to ensure a company is successful now and in the future.
