For the first time ever, the next edition of MakeUp in Paris (09-10 June 2016 at the Carrousel du Louvre, in Paris, France) will open an area entirely dedicated to Sustainable Development in partnership with Chanel Parfums et Beauté.

Located at the entrance of the show, the area will allow visitors to better understand and therefore better anticipate environmental issues in the Beauty and Personal care sector.

Visitors’ entrance - MakeUp in Paris 2015

Following a call for contest inviting show exhibitors to participate, suppliers’ latest and most relevant achievements in terms of Sustainable Development and Eco-designing will be showcased in this show area.

Students from schools specialised in Packaging (Esepac) but also Formulation (Isipca) will be in charge of selecting the products presented to them by suppliers a month before the start of the show. Products singled out will be presented to visitors in this dedicated show area. Three products will be selected in each of the three categories (Formulation, Packaging, Accessories).

Open source

Chanel Parfums et Beauté, the sponsor of this area, will take the opportunity to present its SEP tool, an open source tool developed by the company Pure Project. As part of its Responsible Development approach, Chanel Parfums et Beauté committed its suppliers to assess their company’s CSR performance in order to measure and reduce environmental and social impacts associated with the processing and manufacturing of raw materials and packagings. The tool can be used by all suppliers, whatever their activity, and by suppliers of suppliers across the entire supply chain.

Round table

Furthermore, on June 10, from 4:00 pm to 5:30 pm, a roundtable will be organized on the theme: "Sustainable Development, the new challenges".
