Responsible Sourcing Policy
At BEAUTYPRO, we are committed to sourcing ingredients, packaging, and products in a way that protects people, animals, and the planet. This Responsible Sourcing Policy outlines the standards we expect from our suppliers and partners to ensure that our supply chain reflects our values of sustainability, integrity and respect for human rights.
Scope
