Sustainable Beauty
At Valentino Beauty, we believe in Acts of Love. We believe that everything we do, together, even the smallest of acts, can make a difference. In our hearts and minds, we dream of making the world more beautiful, diverse and sustainable. And it begins with these humble Acts of Love. For Valentino Beauty there is no Love, only Acts of Love.
PRODUCTION FOOTPRINT
Core ranges such as lipsticks and 50 ml and 100 ml fragrances are manufactured in facilities using 100% renewable energy as of the end of 2022*. The waste generated by factories is reused, recycled or recovered for energy.
Valentino Beauty is committed to reducing the environmental footprint of factories and distribution centers. We aim to improve energy efficiency, increase use of renewable energies, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and water withdrawal as well as waste per finished product. To further diminish the brand’s carbon footprint, sea transport is favored over road and air transport.
RE-FILLED WITH LOVE
Today, 75% of our make-up products sold are either refillable, or are actual refills.
Great part of the Valentino Beauty make-up collection is designed to be refillable. Our refill strategy is centered around our top sellers - lipsticks, Go-Cushions and Go-Clutches. We want to engage our customers into choosing refills, whenever possible. Not only is it a statement they are making, but also an invitation to explore our wide range of shades.
BOTTLES REBORN
Clearly reborn to give materials new life for a more colorful and vibrant planet!
In 2022, 60 tons of recycled glass were used for the Born in Roma collection. Working in collaboration with research and development teams, Valentino Beauty’s goal is to continue to increase the proportion of recycled glass in fragrance bottles.
RESPONSIBLE GIFTING
The art of gifting is essential to Valentino Beauty. Our gifts are filled with love and joy, and we have made the conscious decision to design our gift boxes using 100% Cardboard. Our choice minimizes our environmental impact without compromising on quality. Our optimized gift box sizes reduce excess of packaging and allow for lighter and space-saving transportation . Our boxes are recyclable but can also be kept as a beautiful case for your belongings.

*A site is able to claim “using 100% renewable energy” if it meets the following two requirements:
- Direct CO2 (Scope 1) = 0 with the exception of the gas used for catering, the fuel oil used for sprinkler tests, fossil energy consumptions during maintenance of on-site renewable facilities, cooling gas leaks if they are lower than 130 tonnes CO2 eq/year; and
- Indirect CO2 Market Based (Scope 2) = 0.
The performance in terms of CO2 emissions is expressed in CO2 equivalent (CO2 eq).
Scopes 1 and 2 CO2 emissions are defined according to the GHG Protocol as follows:
- Scope 1 emissions: The direct CO2 emissions arising from the gas and fuel oil consumption. It also includes CO2 emissions related to potential cooling gas leaks.
- Scope 2 emissions: The indirect CO2 emissions arising from electricity and heat, cooling, steam purchase.
