KUALA LUMPUR, June 2 -- Mary Kay Inc, a global advocate for environmental consciousness and corporate responsibility, has joined the Ellen MacArthur Foundation as a member of its Network.
This is part of its commitment to becoming a more sustainable, circular business, according to a statement.
Mary Kay was inducted among other influential organisations including The Ford Motor Company, International Paper, Mattel and The Fashion Institute of Technology.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation is a UK-based charity that develops and promotes the idea of a circular economy, based on the principles of eliminating waste and pollution, keeping products and materials in use, and regenerating natural systems.
The Ellen MacArthur Foundation works with — and inspires — business, academia, policymakers, and institutions to mobilise systems solutions at scale, globally.
Mary Kay, which is set to announce its sustainability strategy later this year, hopes to work with the Ellen MacArthur Foundation and other Network organisations to further implement economy practices — with a focus on materials sourcing.
The company is committed to reducing its environmental footprint and is taking steps to improve efficiency in its operations, thinking long term to incorporate responsible business practices.
Mary Kay's global manufacturing facilities in China achieved zero waste-to-landfill status in 2014, while the global manufacturing centre located in Texas, USA, achieved the status in 2011.
