Our values

Objectives and Commitments

The association commits to fostering a working environment where everyone is treated with respect and fairness, regardless of gender.​ We believe gender equality is fundamental to our credibility and mission of promoting environmentally responsible cosmetic.

Safety and Respect

Mutual Respect: Reinforce that inappropriate marks,behaviors, or biases have no place in the association. ​Safe Space: Establish a confidential process(designated contact person or group agreement)to raise any concerns related to gender discrimination or harassment.

Daily Operations​

Flexible Working Arrangements: Respect obligations related to family, caregiving, or life balance. Promote flexibility in meetings and workloads. Shared Learning: Encourage everyone to learn about gender-sensitive language, environmental justice, and how product impacts may differ by gender.

Monitoring and Growth​

Feedback-Oriented: Hold an annual team reflection (e.g. during a yearly meeting or retreat) to assess how inclusive practices are working and update them as needed.​Proportional Tracking: Keep minimal yet useful records — such as team feedback or observations — to inform future practices

Internal Practice​

Inclusive Culture: Foster open and inclusive communication where all team members are encouraged to express ideas and concerns equally.​ Fair Roles and Responsibilities: Ensure that tasks and decision making responsibilities are distributed equitably, considering capacities, interests, and fair access to leadership opportunities.​ Inclusive Recruitment (when applicable): When new volunteers or collaborators are brought in, ensure no gender bias in selection, using neutral formulations and objective criteria.

Communication and External Work​

Inclusive Messaging: Use diverse visuals and inclusive language in all materials and public outreach.​ Awareness of Gendered Impact: When discussing cosmetic products' environmental effects, consider how usage patterns or impacts might vary by gender.​ Partnerships: Collaborate with individuals and organizations that also value gender equality and inclusivity.
