Organic Monitor Launches Sustainable Cosmetics Summit

The Organic Monitor is launching a new series of international summits that focus on sustainability in the beauty industry. The aim of the new Sustainable Cosmetics Summit is to cover the major issues the beauty industry faces concerning sustainability, natural, organic, fair trade and ecological products.  The launch of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit follows the success of Organic Monitor's various seminars, workshops and summits.


The inaugural Summit will be held in Frankfurt on November 16-17th, 2009.  The major themes are market & industry developments, sustainability & CSR best-practices, and developing green formulations. The Summit aims to bring together some of the leading and most influential organisations involved in sustainability in the beauty industry.

George Korres, founder and CEO of Korres Natural Products, will kick off the summit with an opening address titled ‘Building a sustainable future through natural cosmetics.’ Other speakers will be from leading natural cosmetic firms such as Weleda and Laverana.  A key focus of the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit is to give case studies of companies who have successfully met the ethical and ecological challenges.
