ESG and claims compliance for cosmetics and personal care
Your customer has asked you to complete EcoVadis or SEDEX and nobody in your company has done it before. Or your packaging makes environmental claims that Directive (EU) 2024/825 now reaches. I work on both.
Who this is for
Cosmetics and personal care manufacturers, ingredient suppliers and contract manufacturers whose customers require an ESG rating.
Brands with environmental or performance claims on pack or online.
EU brands entering the Swiss market, where the rules are not the same as they are in the EU.
Two things I do
ESG documentation and ratings
EcoVadis, SEDEX, CDP and GRI. I assess what you already have, build the missing documentation, and take you through the submission. Scope varies, so I quote a fixed fee after a free first look rather than publishing a rate.
Claims compliance
CHF 900 to 1,500 per product. Five working days.
A written review of your product claims against Regulation (EU) 655/2013, the European Commission's Technical Document on Cosmetic Claims, and Directive (EU) 2024/825, which applied on 27 September 2026. Every claim marked keep, change or remove, with the provision it turns on and what evidence would support it.
Why me
MBA in Sustainability Management. Based in Ticino, Switzerland.
Fourteen published articles on EU and Swiss cosmetics regulation. One of them explained Directive (EU) 2024/825 ten days before it applied.
I also build my own fragrance-free skincare brand, which is why I know this from the inside rather than from a textbook. I have assembled a self-monitoring system a cantonal laboratory accepted in writing, and negotiated manufacturer agreements and claims with my own supplier.
How to start
Send me the questionnaire you have been asked to complete, or your product page. Within two working days I will tell you what is involved and whether I can help, at no cost. If I can, I quote a fixed fee before any work begins.
