PLANET FWD FOR BEAUTY

Built for beauty brands measuring climate impact

Credible climate data that powers Sephora Planet Aware, B Corprecertification, retailer sustainability programs, R&D decisions, anddefensible marketing claims.

One data foundation. Every place you need it.

Most beauty brands build carbon data once for a single requirement, thenrebuild it for the next. Planet FWD builds one credible data foundation thatserves every use case below. From retailer credentials to R&D to marketingclaims, defensible, verified footprint data.

Qualify for Sephora Planet Aware

Sephora Planet Aware recognizes brands that meet Sephora'ssustainability standards across four pillars. Pillar 3 is the carbonmeasurement pillar where most beauty brands hit a wall. It requires Scope 1 and2 calculated for all brands, plus Scope 3 calculated and verified reductiontargets for large brands. For most beauty brands, Scope 3 alone is 90%+ of thetotal footprint. Planet FWD builds the product carbon footprints and corporateinventory that form Pillar 3 of qualification. The same data feeds Pillar 4 (consumer disclosure), and any other retailer or certification program thatasks for credible climate data.

Answer Ulta, Walmart, and
Amazon's programs too

Beyond Sephora, retailers run their own sustainability programs. Ulta Conscious Beauty asks brands for ingredient and packaging sustainability data. Walmart's Project Gigaton tracks supplier emissions reduction. Amazon's Climate Pledge Friendly recognizes products with verified third-party sustainability certifications. The same Planet FWD data foundation answers all of them without starting over for each retailer.

Inform R&D before you launch

The most valuable time for carbon data is before a product exists. Comparison LCAs model the carbon difference between ingredient options, packaging formats, and sourcing choices, so your team sees the trade-offs while they're still decisions they can make

Back your marketing claims with data

Mintel reports that 65% of adults find it difficult to know if a brand is overstating how eco-friendly it is. That trust gap is the reason marketing claims need credible data behind them. Planet FWD delivers PCFs formatted for on-pack and online use, so marketing claims hold upto scrutiny.

Benchmark your portfolio

Portfolio benchmarking identifies which SKUs carry the highest carbon impact, so your team can focus reduction efforts and storytelling where theymatter most.

BEHIND THE DECISION

Why brands pick a platform over a consultancy

The reason a brand might pick a software platform over a traditional consultancy here is speed and reusability. The carbon Must-Haves are delivered in roughly eight weeks rather than six to nine months, anchored by aningredient and materials database broad enough to handle the ingredients beautybrands work with in practice.

That same database is what makes activity-based Scope 3 measurable at the ingredient level.

You can feel yourself moving through the supply chain. It's the most intuitive platform we've used.
