CIDESCO, the world standard for beauty and spa therapy, is encouraging its members, students and schools to become more aware and supportive of environmental issues by issuing them with guidelines to becoming a more sustainable operator.
With its guidance, CIDESCO is emphasising that eco-efforts are not about sacrifice, but about healthy choices to enhance overall sustainability of the industry. With its global membership, CIDESCO is hoping that making these small changes will result in big steps for the industry.
Announcing the initiative, CIDESCO international president, Anna-Cari Gund said: “As a global enterprise with representation in more than 40 countries, our members can really make a difference when they come together to support such an important issue.
“Operating sustainably needs to be built into all of our working practices, wherever we might be based, and having guidelines to follow makes it easier and achievable. We encourage our members to share their sustainability stories to encourage others and support this further through marketing and social channels.”
The CIDESCO International Sustainability Initiative includes a six-step manifesto, covering waste reduction, recycling, avoidance of pollutants, staff training on the issue, sourcing suppliers who support the initiative and water conservation.
