Meeting on September 6, 2024, the members of the Green Impact Index association approved the renewal of the consortium's Board of Directors as part of its commitment to rotative and participative governance. Bris Rocher, Chairman of the Rocher Group, was appointed Chairman of the consortium.
A tool for environmental and societal labelling of cosmetics, wellness and family health products developed by 22 players in the sector, the Green Impact Index provides consumers with information on the environmental and societal impact of products marketed by consortium members.
The Green Impact Index tool is based on the Afnor Spec 2215 methodology, developed in collaboration with Afnor Normalisation. Product scores are calculated on the basis of 50 criteria (formula, packaging, manufacturing, transport, use, social issues). The product's impact is represented by a rating graduated from A to E.
By making the impact of their products more transparent, the companies in the consortium aim to contribute to the continuous improvement of their value chains.
"I'm proud to be elected Chairman of the Green Impact Index consortium, which has developed a visionary method and tool for our industries. Our ambition is to become the reference standard, and it is through the strength of the collective that we will be able to accelerate the development of ever more sustainable practices, and help consumers make informed choices. I therefore invite companies of all sizes to join us in this great transformation.said Bris Rocher.
Eric Ducournau, former president and new secretary of the consortium, spoke about his work: "I'm deeply convinced of the relevance of our tool and the AFNOR Spec 2215 method for our companies, consumers and society as a whole. We need to step up our efforts to make it known and adopted by as many companies as possible, and I will continue to play an active part in this.
The consortium's ambition is to make the Green Impact Index the reference standard for environmental and societal labelling of cosmetics, wellness and family health products, and thus transform the industry towards a more sustainable model.
The appointment of Bris Rocher, President of Le Rocher since 2009, is a fitting one. A pioneer in plant-based cosmetics, the Rocher group became in 2019, under Bris Rocher's impetus, the first international group to adopt Entreprise à Mission status, setting a precedent for French industry.
