In which areas does Bloomtown perform well?

Bloomtown performs well across all ethical criteria, though its environmental commitments are particularly impressive. 

Bloomtown receives a top rating for its Environmental Report since the brand has a wide range of ethical and environmental policies. For instance, Bloomtown only uses recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable packaging, which demonstrates the brand’s focus on minimising waste from its products.

Moreover, Bloomtown receives a top rating under the Animal Welfare category, as the brand has a robust animal testing policy which confirms that its products are cruelty-free.

What makes Bloomtown so sustainable?

Bloomtown has many sustainable attributes that further the brand’s ethical status. Notably, Bloomtown is a 100% palm-oil-free company. Given the role that palm oil plays in tropical deforestation, this reflects Bloomtown’s commitment to addressing the ethical issues within its industry.

The brand is also involved in charitable initiatives and donates 10% of its profits to environmental and animal rescue charities, including The Orangutan Project. Additionally, Bloomtown has a #deforestationfree campaign, which encourages individuals to speak out about the controversial palm oil industry.

As a result of its extensive ethical and sustainable commitments, Bloomtown has been awarded a top rating in the Ethical Innovator category.
