3 years to act: this is what the IPCC (Intergovernmental Group of Climate Experts) has defined. Very concretely, we must succeed in reversing the curve of greenhouse gas emissions by 2025 if humanity wants to hope to maintain a “livable” planet. This would make it possible to achieve the objective of only 2 degrees of warming, because the (very ambitious) objective of the Paris Agreement which consists of limiting the increase in temperatures by 1.5 degrees is potentially already "out of reach" *

At Love & Green we don’t give up! This is why we work on the continuous improvement of our products, and why we launched our first Life Cycle Analysis targeted on the carbon footprint, in 2021, for our diapers.

*To better understand, we recommend this carbon4 explanatory page: https://www.carbone4.com/article-giec-groupe3-points-cles

We worked in partnership with our partner factories to provide all technical information to the CO2 Logic expertise firm.

The project followed the PAS 2050 standard and complies with the PAS 2060 climate neutrality standard. This allowed us to know the quantified carbon impact of all raw materials, but also of all stages of production, transport, and end of life.

The study, validated after a critical review by the independent external firm Vinçotte, reveals that 80% of CO2 emissions in cradle to gate (from raw materials to the doors of our warehouses) relate to raw materials for diapers! The choice of naturalness and the constant innovation that has driven us since our creation is therefore the right one, whether for your babies but also for our planet!

But we don't stop there, measuring is good, but acting is essential!

In 2021, 9,800 tonnes of CO2 eq were emitted to produce all our diapers. Here is what we are putting in place so that we can further reduce our footprint.

In January 2022, we were partners in a project to preserve and diversify a forest in China, with the aim of protecting this natural carbon sink and sustainably helping it regenerate.

It is in partnership with Ecoact , an independent external firm that we participated in this project which is Verified Carbon Standard certified. This standard, based on international standards, provides requirements for credible and verified GHG reduction and absorption programs.

The eco-design of our products remains our priority in order to always offer more naturalness in the service of your health and our planet! In 2022, we have reworked our packaging, which you will find in your stores this summer.

A reduction of 34 tonnes of plastic which can be explained by:

- Removing the handle (less practical but more ecological!)

- Reducing the thickness of the packaging

We have even gone further: our packaging is now made from 100% recycled plastic and even paper for the Pure Nature range!

Love & Green continues to invest and develop more responsible innovations to protect the health of the entire family and our planet.

- Products that must be tested under dermatological control before being placed on the market: we ban perfumes and allergens in almost all of our products (only our COSMOS certified organic orange blossom scented wipes contain a light fragrance),

- The use of the most natural ingredients and components possible: all our paper hygiene products have contact with the skin of natural origin,

- The banning of any ingredient suspected of having the slightest impact on health that we identify in a regularly updated blacklist. We say no to: ingredients suspected of being carcinogenic, endocrine disruptors, allergens, irritants, etc.

- A systematic environmental certification approach for all products, based on the most demanding existing standards. In addition to this common base for all our ranges, we offer specific commitments for each type of product. Find here link on the “ our products ” page.

In November 2022, we launched a study carried out by the CSA with 142 partner health professionals (midwives, general practitioners and pediatricians) who all recommended our Love & Green diapers!

In December 2022, we obtained the Original Dermatest® label for our veil in contact with the skin in Green PE/PLA.

This label requires carrying out a test on the skin (brief and localized contact), on at least 30 subjects, without adverse effects.

All our single-use ranges (excluding wipes) are therefore labeledOriginal Dermatest®

In January 2023, we obtained the 5-star Dermatest® label for our range of Love & Green diapers. Usage testing is carried out on at least 20 subjects for a period of at least 4 weeks at the intended application site.

The results of this study with this distinction go beyond determining skin irritation potential in terms of significance. Among other things, application for four weeks generally excludes any potential for sensitization.

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs or Agenda 2030) were adopted in September 2015 by 193 countries at the United Nations, following the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). They constitute an action plan for peace, humanity, the planet and prosperity, requiring the implementation of multi-actor partnerships.

They aim to transform our societies by eradicating poverty and ensuring a just transition towards sustainable development by 2030. Universal, inclusive and interconnected, these objectives call for action by all and establish a universal common language. The SDGs constitute a reference framework for action, an awareness-raising tool, a source of economic opportunities and a lever for multi-actor collaboration.

These 17 objectives are accompanied by 169 linked targets, addressing all types of stakeholders and specifying their content. It is essential to read it in order to identify the most relevant SDGs for your organization.

Companies have a key role to play in the success of this 2030 Agenda, facilitated by their active participation within the Global Compact. Achieving the SDGs will improve the business environment, providing them with a more stable framework in which to prosper and grow. Both from the point of view of development opportunities and risk management, it is therefore in our strategic interest to contribute today!
