Does moving to a sustainable beauty solution require bravery?

Oct 7 / Eva Lagarde






After the month of September, we’ve just been through, I don’t know if I have any more “energy” in me to keep going. And I’m not the only one, in every industry, all of my friends report the same feeling…
…. September was like a storm.

With all the events starting again (all-at-once).
In October, it seems that we will be able to regulate our calendar towards the end of the month… So hold on tight, be brave, we are getting there…
When it comes to sustainability I feel it’s the same idea… that we have to keep going in the midst of all the paths we could take, and we may start in the wrong direction, but then if you are not alone, you could explore, in all safety, with like-minded professionals, and rest in each other’s shoulder at times, when you are running of strength.

Because being brave is easier together. Making tough decisions is easier when you know you’re not alone. Trying and sometimes failing is better with friends.

We have first built a course on packaging, which is self-paces: so do-it-when-you-want. And also with Q&A live sessions, for one hour, once a week, so you can get connected with other learners, and also ask live questions to our Experts.
Don’t stay alone in your sustainability journey. Join us!

Our next packaging course is starting on October 25th. It will last for 8 week (up to Christmas approximately, I know … xmaaaassss already!) + Q&A live session every Wednesday for these 8 weeks at 5pm Paris time, and 4pm London time, or 11am NY time.
