The 3th edition of the VPC Green Beauty Awards, created by Perfumery and Cosmetics Sales, already has winners, thereby recognizing the best companies, brands, products and green and charitable initiatives in the beauty sector in Spain.
There have been many applications received, +17% more if we talk only about registered companies and +158% if we analyze the total categories. All this has been a real challenge for all the members of the jury who finally selected the best three of each of the 13 categories on which they rule. There is one more category, number 14, the Audience Award, which has also seen online consumer voting grow by 233%.
Finally, yesterday all the winners were revealed. The awards ceremony took place for yet another year at the H10 Metropolitan hotel in Barcelona and was an excellent opportunity to collectively celebrate how much the cosmetics and perfumery industry is doing for the sake of sustainability and CSR.
An initiative for all
As noted Carles solsona, director of Perfumery and Cosmetics Sales and president of the jury, “the VPC Green Beauty Awards seek to recognize the work of large multinationals as well as that of small SMEs that are taking their first steps in the sector. Some have all the financial means to make their business increasingly sustainable, but they also carry the burden of macro-structures that are more difficult to change quickly. The others, the smaller ones, have fewer resources, but have been able to work towards sustainability from the start. Our recognition goes both to one and to the other. And without forgetting all those who on this occasion have not won any award, but would deserve it for the effort they are making to achieve a better future for all".
The trophies that are given to the winners of these Green Beauty Awards are also "Green" and have been made of sustainable material and ecological paints.
