The second edition of the VPC Green Beauty Awards (VPC GBA), created by the professional magazine Sales of Perfumery and Cosmetics, has awarded the best green companies, brands, products and initiatives in the beauty sector in Spain. From among the many applications received, an expert jury selected the best three for each of the 11 categories. The last category, the Audience Award, is the result of an online vote by consumers. Finally, on June 1 the winners were revealed. The awards ceremony took place at the H10 Metropolitan hotel in Barcelona, and it was a magnificent occasion to bring together many of the main representatives of the sector and celebrate together the progressive recovery of the perfumery and cosmetics industry.
How could it be otherwise, the trophies that were given to the winners of this second edition of the VPC Green Beauty Awards are also "Green" and have been made of sustainable material and ecological paints.
In this second edition, the VPC Green Beauty Awards have once again obtained the support of the entire sector that is committed to achieving more sustainable policies and products every day. Because, after all, as pointed out by Marc Florensa, manager of Podium Global Media, a publishing company for Sales of Perfumery and Cosmetics, “the important thing is them, the children, to whom we must guarantee that there is a future. And this happens to take care of our planet. The VPC Green Beauty Awards aim to recognize all the efforts that our sector is making to achieve this."
Carles Solsona, president of the jury and director of Perfumery and Cosmetics Sales, added: “We know that all companies in the perfumery and cosmetics sector are making titanic efforts to be even more green, sustainable, caring and egalitarian. The third edition of our awards will recognize all this magnificent work.”
