"The cosmetics industry is in solidarity with the companies in the glass sector.

 On the occasion of the visit by the Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Economic Recovery, responsible for Industry, Mrs. Agnès Pannier-Runacher, performed, this morning, in Eure-et-Loir, with several members of the Competitiveness Cluster (Guerlain, Expanscience, Alban Muller) and startups from its national gas pedal Beauty Hub (La Bouche Rouge, 900.care, CocoriCosmetic, DWS, Bio Inspir, Abomey Labs...) Cosmetic Valley and the Fédération des Entreprises de la Beauté (FEBEA) presented him with a statement recalling that " Cosmetics companies show solidarity with the glass industry ". 

This text, the result of a joint effort, is signed by most of the major market players : Biologique Recherche, Chanel, Clarins, Coty, Guerlain, Hermès, Kenzo Parfums, Interparfums, L'Oréal, Parfums Christian Dior, Parfums Givenchy, Puig, Shiseido, Sisley, Sarbec and Sothys. This unprecedented gathering underscores the importance and urgency of preserving every aspect of the French cosmetics industry, and in particular the perfume sector. Founded on the " Made in France "Employing 246,000 people, this unique ecosystem generates France's second-largest trade surplus.. A veritable industrial fabric, it links all the links in the value chain, from ingredient production and research centers to the development and manufacture of packaging items and the distribution of finished products. The glass industry, whose signatories emphasize the quality of its products, the excellence of its know-how and the capacity of its plants located in France and Europe, is an integral part of this network. 

In the current period, marked by the health crisis and its economic consequences, the signatories of the declaration wish toin line with the efforts they have already been making for several months, and in compliance with competition rules, optimize as much as possible payment deadlines or avoid uncalled inventories for the benefit of glass companies. They confirm that, for cope with the economic and social effects of the pandemic, give preference to French players in their sourcing, maintain the quality and scope of their cooperation with the French glass industry and facilitate the cash flow of the companies that make it up. 

The signatories also reiterate the importance of glass suppliers promote sustainable innovation, in particular by mobilizing the resources of the Stimulus Plan and, secondly, that the public authorities, to help improve the competitiveness of the French site, are strengthening a strategic industry for the French economy, by providing it with the tools - a collective international brand and an industry committee - essential to its development in the face of increasingly fierce foreign competition. 

" In the cosmetics sector, the jewel of our country's industry and champion of "Made in France", it is essential to preserve the industrial fabric that is its originality and strength. I salute the companies who, in difficult times, have chosen to show solidarity by making this declaration, betting on the long term, preserving a high-performance ecosystem and thus enabling the success of the economic and ecological transitions underway. I will shortly be convening an industry committee with market players to give concrete expression to these advances."said Agnès PANNIER-RUNACHER, Minister Delegate to the Minister of the Economy, Finance and Economic Recovery, responsible for Industry. 

" The signing of such a declaration is unprecedented. This text, which expresses the solidarity of our industry with the glass sector, is commensurate with the importance, not always sufficiently emphasized, that our sector plays in the French economy in terms of employment and growth. It testifies to genuine cooperation between principals and glass suppliers. It also expresses a reasonable demand: that, with everyone, including public authorities, assuming their responsibilities, the cosmetics ecosystem, France's second-largest trade surplus, should be given the means to maintain its competitiveness and global leadership. "said Marc-Antoine JAMET, President of the Cosmetic Valley competitiveness cluster. 

" By expressing its solidarity with the glass industry, the cosmetics sector is once again demonstrating its driving role in preserving and developing an industrial fabric of excellence and defending the "made in France" label. This mobilization must be pursued and extended through a strategic industry committee that will enable the French cosmetics industry to meet the challenges of the recovery, including the ecological transition, and consolidate its role as world leader. "added Patrick O'Quin, President of the FEBEA.
