Our commitments

Marc Puig

At Puig, we are committed to being one of the most respected groups in our industry on issues related to the environment, society and good governance. For this reason, in 2021 we launched our new 2030 ESG Agenda. This is our roadmap for the coming years and includes challenging and ambitious goals in all three dimensions.
We want to continue acting in the most responsible way possible and contribute to building a better world; that will be our legacy. A commitment that we actively promote.

Marc Puig
Chairman and CEO

The current challenges we have to face as a company, as a society and as a planet, are becoming increasingly demanding, which is why there is now a sense of urgency, a need to act more quickly and resolutely. We have to be rigorous and scientific and define indicators and metrics to measure our performance. Only then will we know if we are helping to tackle these challenges. The 2030 ESG Agenda redesigns our roadmap for the coming years and takes another step towards achieving challenging, ambitious goals, and aligning our strategy with the most relevant international standards.

At Puig we honor the values and principles put in place by three generations of family leadership.
Based on this experience, we have developed the new 2030 ESG Agenda which covers the company’s entire value chain, footprint and brand portfolio, irrespective of any inorganic growth.
Our agenda is focused on 2 key commitments :

  • CONTRIBUTE TO LIMITING THE RISE OF TEMPERATURE TO 1.5 °C BY 2030
  • BE NET ZERO BY 2050

Today we continue to build on our generational legacy, through conscious commitments in our ESG Agenda aligned with the most important international standards.

The 2014-2020 Sustainability Program represented a cultural transformation within Puig. It allowed us to achieve important milestones and learn significant lessons. The scope of this program was confined to the fragrance business unit in Spain and France in the period from 2014 to 2020.

Over the course of our first Sustainability Program 2014-2020 we reduced our carbon footprint by 55%1 thanks to measures such as maximizing the use of local and renewable energy, eco-designing products, using more sustainable transport and compensating and neutralizing emissions. To date, these measures have produced the following achievements:

  • 13% plastic reduction per coffrets tray
  • 100% of alcohol from natural sources
  • 100% of our folding boxes cardboard from sustainably managed forests
  • 25% reduction in logistics GHG (greenhouse gases) emissions
    (KPI: t CO2 eq./net revenues € M)
  • 100% carbon neutral in manufacturing at the 4 factories
  • Zero waste to landfill at the 4 factories and 2 headquarters since 2015
  • 84% reduction in paper consumption per employee
    (KPI: paper consumption kg/FTE full-time employee)
  • 100% of renewable electricity at the 4 factories and 2 headquarters.

At Puig, as a family company that aspires to leave behind a better world for future generations, we aim to build brands that generate a positive impact on the environment and society. Not only is it important that we improve our environmental performance, but it is also key that we support the diversity of our consumers and communities.

In 2021, all of us together were able to maximize the company’s capacity to have a positive impact, not only in terms of financial contributions but also in terms of the scope of our actions.

INVISIBLE BEAUTY

In 2014 the Puig Foundation launched Invisible Beauty with the aim of becoming a benchmark in social commitment, in line with the Puig corporate purpose and, more recently, with the social commitments of our 2030 ESG Agenda.

For seven years, Invisible Beauty has supported the Makers program, an initiative aimed at fostering the entrepreneurial excellence of people who are already implementing social projects focused on gender equality (SDG 5), empowering women and girls (SDGs 4 and 5), reducing inequalities within and between countries (SDG 10), and developing sustainable and responsible production and consumption systems (SDG 12). Makers is a mentoring and funding program for initiatives with a high social impact.

Puig employees who participate in this program transfer their know-how in different areas to the leaders of these projects, providing them with the key skills required for success. Meanwhile, we offer the most dedicated Puig employees an opportunity to channel their commitment and contribute to Puig’s corporate purpose.

With the seventh edition of Invisible Beauty, we hope to maximize our contribution to the 2030 ESG Agenda. New to this edition is the creation of a space where social entrepreneurship, Puig and our brands can cooperate and co-create to maximize their social impact.

Aware of the magnitude of the challenges that the company and society face, we have created three governance mechanisms to ensure the success of the 2030 ESG Agenda:

  • The ESG committee, which reports to the Board of Directors. It is made up of the Chairman of the ESG Committee (also Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Sustainability Officer of Puig) and four members (the Chairman of the Board of Directors and three independent members).
  • The position of CSO (Chief Sustainability Officer), which is independent from the Vice Chairman role.
  • The ESG Team, which includes the Vice Chairman and Chief Sustainability Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the Operations Senior VP, the corporate sustainability and HR teams. This body is responsible for monitoring the strategy and the fulfillment of objectives on a monthly basis. The team is made up of full-time members, who are dedicated solely to their team assignment, and part-time members, who concurrently occupy senior positions in business units across the Puig organization.


Moreover, due to embedded governance model, ESG champions have been appointed to spearhead the implementation of the 2030 ESG Agenda throughout the company.
