Beauty firm Coty has announced that it reduced its total water withdrawal by 16% during its 2025 fiscal year, with the company on track to achieve a 25% reduction target by 2030, based on 2019 levels.
Elsewhere, Coty launched new decarbonisation targets for suppliers and earned recognition on the CDP Supplier A List, it said in its 2025 sustainability report, in which it revealed the progress made under its ‘Beauty that Lasts’ strategy.
‘Sustainability and desirability’
“Coty continues to prove that sustainability and desirability co-exist and elevate one another,” commented chief executive Sue Nabi. “Change in our world is the only constant. We embrace it and turn it into progress in beauty and beyond, for people and planet.”
During its 2025 fiscal year, Coty also expanded its collaboration with retail partners, launching a multi-brand sustainability hub in travel retail to showcase its environmental initiatives.
In terms of product design, Coty introduced new refillable and lighter packaging across several brands, including a refillable version of BOSS The Scent and the first refillable mascara under Max Factor.
It also achieved 99% Forest Stewardship Council certification for its folding box packaging and 100% certification from Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil for its responsible palm oil sourcing.
Ingredient transparency was expanded through a new online resource offering accessible information for consumers.
Independent validation
Coty’s sustainability efforts received independent validation through a number of ratings and assessments, including CDP Climate (A-), MSCI (A), Sustainalytics (Low Risk), and EcoVadis (Gold).
The sustainability report is Coty’s first under the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and is based on double materiality, ‘marking a step forward in transparency and robust data management’, the company said. Read more here.
