I believe that most companies aren’t conscious about the harming to the environment that they cause because they’re mainly focusing on increasing profits. I researched and discovered a huge group of personal care product companies that still use animal testing. Most of them are recognizable since they may have worked so hard to reach the position they already are. I think that companies that help the environment will definitely gain a positive recognition and possibly earn more profit. For example, L’Oreal has done many things to help out the environment like producing 100% recycled PET packaging, reduction of water use by about 14%, and also their plants in India use solar heating to preheat washing water, which saves 93 tons of carbon dioxide a year. As a consumer, I would definitely buy products from L’Oreal because if there was another company that has equal great quality products, L’Oreal actually has helped out the environment by having better packaging, so I would also be helping the environment. If I were to be in another company, this will also affect our business because of the positive recognition they receive for their sustainability, our business’ profit may decrease. Therefore sustainability may not only help the environment, but also help companies.
