Indian Beauty Brands - Sustainability Mechanisms & Verifiable Claims

Calling for story inputs - Indian beauty and personal care brands for the upcoming French Press Global issue. I'm working on a piece about sustainability in Indian beauty, and I'm looking for brands doing it through a specific, working mechanism rather than a label. What I'm interested in: 1. Take-back and refill systems, including how many empties actually come back 2. Third-party certification: B Corp, WFTO fair trade, COSMOS/Ecocert/BDIH, FSC- with scope and certificate details 3. Packaging innovation, recycled content, mono-material or genuinely compostable formats 4. Supply chain work: fair-traded inputs, producer companies, direct farm or artisan sourcing 5. Upcycled or waste-derived ingredients 6. EPR compliance and what the brand is doing beyond the statutory minimum One request: please send documentation alongside the claim. A certificate number, a registry link, an audited figure, a stated baseline and methodology. The story is built around what a reader can independently verify, so unsupported numbers won't make it in and that's the point of the piece, not a hurdle I'm putting up. Brands of any size welcome. Small and unfunded is completely fine; a working mechanism matters more than scale. Drop a comment or write to me at [email redacted] . Inputs by 10th September.
