We want to get a little better every day and are continuously working on having a positive influence on the lives of others – in our company, in our neighbourhood and with our partners along our value chain. To us, this also includes treating the environment with respect. For a healthy planet. Because we are convinced that only a sustainably operating company can be successful in the long-term.


The pillars of our corporate responsibility strategy

At cosnova, we want to make a positive contribution to protecting our planet and all people and have set ourselves ambitious goals to achieve this. A holistic corporate responsibility and company strategy is at the heart of this - consisting of 5 strategic pillars:

What we have achieved

We have been pursuing a comprehensive sustainability strategy for several years now and know that we need staying power to reach our ambitious goals – but we have also already managed to achieve many improvements, as can be seen in our chronicle.

With our Sustainability Report 2021, we show where we stand. Spanning our corporate responsibility pillars, we pick up highlights, share progress, and provide insights into the cosnova world, and how we are striving to make it more environmentally friendly every day. The report is available for download in German and English.

Our passion lies in beauty and sustainability

We make sure that our contribution to environmental protection is just as impressive as our products. Our carbon footprint is an important measure of our environmental performance. Our SBTi commitments are a central part of our commitment to environmental protection.

COSNOVA AND WWF GERMANY

Together to protect the oceans

In our efforts to become a little more sustainable every day, we also collaborate with strong partners who are just as committed to the cause as we are. This way, we can achieve our ambitious goals together. As a partner of WWF Germany, for example, we are working hard on protecting the oceans by promoting the recycling infrastructures in Southeast Asia.
