signed the pledge listed
below:
THE COMPACT FOR
GLOBAL PRODUCTION OF
SAFE HEALTH & BEAUTY
PRODUCTS
(Compact for Safe
Cosmetics)
Our
company pledges:
That all of the
cosmetics and
personal care
products made by our
company anywhere in
the world meet the
formulation
standards and
deadlines set by the
European Union
Directive 76/768/EEC
to be free of
chemicals that are
known or strongly
suspected of causing
cancer, mutation or
birth defects.
To implement
substitution plans
that replace
hazardous materials
with safer
alternatives within
three years. We will
accomplish this by:
-
Conducting
an inventory
of potential
chemicals of
concern in
our products
(or
byproducts)
to determine
their
toxicity to
living
things,
their
persistence
in the
environment,
their
ability to
increase in
concentration
in the food
chain, their
contamination
of our
bodies, or
qualities
they possess
that pose
hazards
including
carcinogens,
endocrine
disrupters,
sensitizers,
mutagens,
reproductive
toxins,
developmental
toxins and
neurotoxins
-
Developing
an
aggressive
substitution
plan and
timeline: to
move to
safer
materials,
prioritizing
for
substitution
those
compounds
internationally
recognized
as most
toxic; to
provide for
an ongoing
review of
safer
materials
and
chemicals as
effective,
cost-competitive
alternatives
are
available,
and; to work
with
upstream
suppliers to
provide
toxicity
data on
chemicals in
products.
-
Publicly
reporting on
progress to
meet these
goals.
