What B Beauty Coalition does

The B Corp Beauty Coalition (legal entity: B Corp Beauty Coalition CIC) is a Glasgow-headquartered UK Community Interest Company operating as a global business alliance of B Corp certified beauty brands, ingredient suppliers, packaging companies, and service providers. Founded to address fragmented sustainability efforts in the beauty industry, the coalition unites members under three strategic pillars: Innovate for Better Practices (packaging, decarbonization, ingredients, sourcing), Collaboration and Shared Learning (member platform, networking, working groups), and Advocacy and Education (policy influence, consumer education). As of March 2025 the coalition had over 100 members spanning enterprise names (L'Occitane en Provence, Natura&Co, Rituals, Elemis, Arbonne, Prose, Jurlique, Keune, Davines Group, Quadpack) to long-tail SMBs.

The coalition's core deliverables are non-software assets: the B Beauty Navigator (a free, peer-reviewed public resource hub covering greener logistics, sustainable packaging, DEI/JEDI tools, and certification resources developed with B Lab US & Canada), an exclusive Members Portal, monthly B Beauty Webinars, in-person regional events around major industry gatherings (Cosmoprof Bologna, B Corp Retreat Vancouver, TED House Countdown, COP30 in Belém), and member-led Working Groups covering topics including the Sustainable Ingredients Database (with Covalo), Best Practices Guides, Regulatory Landscape for Sustainable Products, and the COP30 advocacy campaign. Two flagship 2025 campaigns were "Leading with Purpose" (May 2025) and "Going Beyond: Positive Actions in the Beauty Industry" at COP30 in Belém (November 2025).

The business model is annual subscription membership fees scaled by member company revenue, ranging from €0 (self-nominated for brands below €1M revenue) to €15,000 (brands above €1B revenue), with a 40% equity reduction for sub-€5M revenue or underrepresented groups, a 20% group discount from the second company onwards in the same holding group, and pro bono support for B Corps scoring 120+. Fees fund administration, operations, standards support, engagement/events, advocacy, governance, and growth/training. The CIC structure is asset-locked and prohibits profit distribution to members, with governance overseen by a Supervisory Board of senior sustainability and advocacy executives from member companies and a Global Coordinator (Leticia Stables).
