Household and personal care productsplay an important role in protecting the health andwell-being of individuals, families and communities,but we know that our sector contributes to thedrivers of nature loss through land conversion,water extraction, greenhouse gas emissions andpollution. The sector is also heavily dependenton nature, especially when it comes to the rawmaterials in our products.Our customers and investors expect us to adoptsustainable practices and develop products that dono harm. They also want us to be transparent andaccountable for any nature- and biodiversity-relatedimpacts throughout our supply chains. However,many companies find the issue very complex. Theystruggle to understand the implications of natureand biodiversity collapse on their business. Theyfind it hard to set meaningful targets and identifytangible actions to stop doing harm or turn towardsregeneration.Best practices and leadership are now emergingas frameworks and guidance for materialityassessments and prioritization become available.Businesses in the household and personal careproducts sector are making commitments toprotect nature, such as reducing emissions anddecreasing downstream discharges, waste ortoxicity. We are also starting to see sector-widecollaboration to address common barriers or toNature Positive:Role of the Household andPersonal Care ProductsSector Ulrike SapiroChief Sustainability Officer,HenkelNature Positive:Role of the Household and Personal Care Products Sector scale up solutions and accelerate transformationcollectively. But there is far more that can andmust be done to keep up with the ambition of theKunming-Montreal Global Biodiversity Framework.This report sets out our sector’s reliance on andrelationship with nature and gives us a clearpathway to reduce our individual business andsector impacts on nature. In the coming years, wemust continue to reduce freshwater withdrawal,source responsibly, address plastic pollution andbecome more circular. This starts by assessingand prioritizing all of the material impacts that ourbusiness has on nature, from the supply chain toproduction, downstream use and end of life.We need to encourage our consumers to join us onthis journey. As a sector that focuses on householdand personal care products, we are uniquelyplaced to help shift consumer behaviour in supportof a nature-positive future. Through our productsand brands, we can inspire individuals to makeinformed decisions and opt for greener products,while repurposing and recycling wherever relevant.Between us, we can drive demand for nature-positive innovations.And we need to act together. Collaboration andcooperation are essential if we are to preventcatastrophic ecosystem collapse. Each of ourorganizations must prioritize the actions outlinedin this
