Baralan strengthens ESG commitment as it celebrates 60 Years

24 May 2022

In celebration of its 60th anniversary, Baralan, a consolidated player in primary packaging for the cosmetics and beauty industries has strengthened its Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategy, including the addition of several product portfolio and corporate-level initiatives aimed at creating a more sustainable future. Both moves represent Baralan’s growth and tangible shift toward becoming a better, future-focused company.

Baralan’s ESG strategy focuses on making meaningful sustainability advancements in two key areas: optimizing its packaging portfolio to reduce environmental footprint; and developing a holistic sustainability framework to guide a company-wide transformation over the medium and longer term. This includes specific initiatives like enhancing reusability and recyclability of products, optimizing waste by promoting more effective solutions such as airless packaging and prioritizing mono-material packaging. Moreover, the company has implemented tangible actions to encourage the adoption of alternative materials, such as biopolymers, and has developed new products using PCR materials in a series just launched earlier this year.

For Baralan, sustainability and sustainable development are, thus, concepts linked to an idea of circular economy that takes into account the quality of products, satisfying the needs between design and functionality, safeguarding and ensuring better conditions for products’ lifecycle. Sustainability is one of the key elements of Baralan’s strategy, who is committed daily to respond to the growing desire of consumers to find products that meet their expectations with particular ethical and environmental needs and that reflect their values.

“Throughout our 60-year history, we have perpetually evolved to address industry trends and market changes, allowing us to provide consistent strategic support for customers and partners,” said Caroline Baranes, Chief Marketing Officer. “Our strengthened ESG initiatives and sustainable solutions serve as both tools and guiding principles in our day-to-day operations, giving our teams a renewed sense of purpose to achieve a cleaner, more sustainable world for all. We were born to embrace beauty, now it’s time to protect it.”
