Lumene Group has become the first Finnish beauty company to become a Certified B Corporation. It is one just six certified B Corps in the country.

Two of the three Lumene Group brands —Lumene and Cutrin —are B Corp certified. In the future, the Group aims to achieve full certification, including its newly acquired brand, Ida Warg Beauty.

Certified B Corporations, or B Corps, are companies verified by B Lab to meet high standards of social and environmental performance and to have made a public commitment to stakeholder governance. Lumene Group has achieved a score of 84.5 on its verified B Corp Assessment.

Alain Mavon, VP of R&D and Sustainability at Lumene Group, comments: “The B Corp certification offers consumers confirmation that when they buy a Lumene or Cutrin product, their purchase supports a company committed to creating high-performing beauty products that also consider communities and environment. As a B Corp, we are also proud to join a leading movement that supports a collective vision of an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.”

Lume Group will be participating in a panel discussion on consumer communications at the Sustainable Cosmetics Summit, hosted in Paris on 23-25th October. More details are on the website
