Since its founding, OPAC has placed core values such as quality, safety, attention to people and environmental responsibility at the heart of its business.
Today, these values and the choices inspired by them are formalized in the Finomet Group’s 2024 Sustainability Report.
Drafted on a voluntary basis, it marks a concrete step towards transparency and reporting on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) actions, allowing for the sharing of results achieved and future objectives with all stakeholders, and making visible the company’s commitment to an increasingly sustainable, ethical, and innovative cosmetics supply chain.
Product sustainability
Comprehensive product vision
All our lotions are natural and clean label, which means:
- A high percentage of naturally derived ingredients (ISO 16128)
- Priority to plant, natural, and renewable ingredients
- A short INCI name, synonymous with select, safe, functional ingredients and the absence of any harmful ones
- Possibility of earning environmental and sustainability certifications
We are constantly researching and developing new tissues that:
- Reduce plastics
- Are natural
- Are compostable
- Are biodegradable
- Are flushable (EDANA and INDA guidelines, 2018)
The recyclable and practical packaging for our wipes and dermocosmetic products allows us to reduce plastics while meeting the highest safety standards, which translates into:
- Less plastic for film and labels
- Fully recyclable mono-material film
- Trays 100% made of recycled plastic
- Cardboard boxes with up to 100% recycled fibres
- Green PE obtained from sugar cane, a renewable and recyclable raw material.
