## Sustainability story

As a brand in the beauty industry, we
know we have a responsibility to help
change this reality, doing our best to
be kind to the planet, and helping our
customers do the same.
We started small, in our Brooklyn, NY
headquarters. We made our shared
kitchen plastic-free, set up compost bins
and recycling stations, and educated
employees on proper recycling methods.
Our ultimate goal is to create infinitely
recyclable packaging.
In 2020, we launched a partnership with
TerraCycle. Our customers could now
recycle their Eva NYC empties easily,
and for free.
But we couldn’t stop there! In February
2021, we relaunched our hair care
portfolio in infinitely recyclable aluminum.
Aluminum is the most widely accepted
material curbside, so it’s accessible and
easy. Infinitely recyclable means that
aluminum can be recycled an infinite
amount of times, forever – without losing
quality. That means it never has to end up
in a landfill or the ocean.
After making a major step change in our
packaging, we broadened our lens to look
at our entire supply chain. We accounted
for all of the emissions that we produce
in our warehouse, office, from shipping,
and commuting, and in 2020 for the
first time we balanced 100% of our
emissions! And now, in 2022 we’re proud
to officially be carbon neutral and Climate
Neutral Certified. We’re also on the path
to B-Corp certification, which we expect
later this year!
There’s a perception in the beauty space that it’s expensive for brands and consumers to be sustainable, and we’re here to change that narrative. We believe that everyone, regardless of what they spend on beauty, should be able to be kind to the planet, animals, and each other, and we’re grateful you’re on that journey with us.

## Emissions (2025)

**Methodology:** Eva-NYC's emissions inventory uses a mix of spending and activity-based data. Eva-NYC attests to the accuracy of their data inputs and the Change Climate team reviews the submission for compliance with the Standard.

- Scope 1: 25 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (location-based): 10 tCO2e
- Scope 2 (market-based): 10 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (location-based): 5,748 tCO2e
- Scope 3 (market-based): 5,748 tCO2e
- **Total (location-based): 5,783 tCO2e**
- **Total (market-based): 5,783 tCO2e**

**Emissions intensity:** Per dollar of revenue — dollar of revenue
