Through more conscious consumption and responsible use of resources, the impact on our environment and on future generations can be significantly influenced. Each of us can contribute to this in everyday life. However, we as a company bear a special responsibility—to lead by example and create solutions for sustainable consumption. We therefore take our responsibility toward the environment and our resources very seriously, starting with the production of our products.
For sustainable production water is one of the most important resources in the production of our products. Through process optimization, recycling, and reuse, fresh water consumption per tonne of products manufactured was reduced by 27.2% since 2022 - and we continue to pursue ambitious targets for further reductions.
In addition, Galderma’s production sites already use 98.9% renewable electricity today. At the same time, we are working closely with our suppliers and logistics partners to further reduce our environmental footprint across the entire value chain. Finally, since 2022, we have succeeded in reducing the waste generation intensity by 13.5%.
In January 2021, Hawaii enacted a law banning the use of two ingredients found in most conventional sunscreens. The ban is due to the suspected harmful effects of these ingredients on marine ecosystems, particularly coral reefs. One UV filter frequently mentioned in this context is oxybenzone. Oxybenzone is not included in Daylong™ products.
The following Daylong™ products from our range also do not contain octinoxate and are therefore compliant with the Hawaiian Reef Law:
