The work focused on two pilot sectors: timber and coconuts, in collaboration with suppliers, NGOs, and certification bodies. Improvement plans have been developed as a result. \u00abNo company can transform its supply chains on its own\u00bb<\/em>, says Virginie Streho, director of raw materials procurement and subcontracting at Chanel Fragrances & Beauty<\/a>. She adds that aligning tools and requirements speeds up execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

3,778 suppliers mapped; ranked 8th<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The members chose the platform Transparency-One<\/a>, a company within the ISN Group, to organize the data. Of the 3,778 suppliers identified, 1,350 shared information. Twelve priority resources have already been identified, as part of a plan targeting 40 cosmetic raw material and packaging supply chains. Supply chains have been traced back to the eighth tier. Two multi-stakeholder working groups are focusing specifically on wood and coconut. \u00abIn three years, Trasce<\/a> \u00bbhas proven its value by giving us the tools to map and gain a deep understanding of our supply chains\"<\/em>, says Vincent Agabekian, category director for raw materials contract manufacturing at LVMH Beauty<\/a>.<\/p>

Wood and Coconut: Initial Sectoral Plans<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For coconuts, the work explored certification schemes covering both virgin oil and derivative products, in order to address the fragmentation of supply chains and to support a collective initiative dedicated to the sustainability of this sector. For wood, efforts focus on harmonizing environmental questionnaires sent to suppliers and on using existing certification standards to protect forest ecosystems. These actions represent the first joint operational implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Objectives: Beyond Rank 2 and Initial Remedial Actions<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Trasce has announced three priorities for the future: expanding traceability beyond Tier 2, implementing initial remediation plans, and broadening sector-specific partnerships. The consortium states its intention to continue developing a collective framework for CSR risk analysis and shared progress plans. \u00abThis coalition has significantly enhanced our understanding of supply chains and strengthened our collaboration with all of our suppliers.\u00bb<\/em>, notes C\u00e9line Bomo-Leducq, director of sustainable sourcing at L'Or\u00e9al<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Members, like the Laboratoires Expanscience<\/a>, indicate that exploring certifications tailored to fragmented supply chains, updating environmental questionnaires, and opening up to collective sector-wide initiatives will be the next milestones. The implementation of the first remediation plans for timber and coconut is announced as the next phase.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
