CRB Cosmeticsone of the world’s leading players in the production of skincare products, subsidiary of the Intercos Group, has achieved Carbon Neutrality at its plant in Switzerland, thus contributing to the Group’s goal of reducing greenhouse gas emissions by 2025.
The goal was achieved thanks to the supply of energy from renewable sourcesan initiative that has already led to a 90% reduction in greenhouse gas emissions compared to 2018. The remaining gas emissions – direct (Scope 1) and indirect energy consumption (Scope 2) – will be offset through certified decarbonisation projects, by participating so actively to the transition to a low-carbon economy.

“We are proud to announce this new and very important milestone. For the first time we can say that one of the subsidiaries of the Intercos Group has become Carbon Neutral – declared theIntercos CEO Renato Semerari -. Our strategy based on respect for the environment and the principle of sustainable beauty is already known and this arrival point contributes to giving further prestige to what we do every day. Our commitment to sustainability in recent months has obtained the recognition of the Platinum medal by Ecovadis, which has included Intercos in the 1% of the most virtuous cosmetic companies globally. The path to sustainability does not stop there; the focus on ESG issues is increasingly central to our business strategy and the implementation of the sustainability plan will allow us to achieve further important goals “.
