Interview with Charmian Love, Co-Founder of B Lab UK | B Lab Anniversary Impact Report

Why It Matters

By showcasing practical business examples and lobbying world leaders, the coalition aims to accelerate regulatory and market support for sustainable, mission-driven business models, raising the bar for corporate accountability and sector-wide climate action.

Summary

Charmian Love, co-founder of B Lab UK, described organizing a collective action campaign for COP30 through the B Beauty Coalition, compiling a casebook of beauty companies that are ‘‘going beyond’’ industry norms in governance, ingredients, employee engagement and innovation. The coalition used these case studies to launch a letter to world leaders at TED Countdown House in Belém, urging high ambition, continuous improvement and policies that champion changemakers. The campaign emphasized measurement, collaboration and cross-industry learning as mechanisms to scale sustainable practices across the beauty sector.
