THE WHAT? Kao has revised its Action Policies on Conservation of Biodiversity via its newly published Action Policy on Biodiversity. The J-beauty firm will continue to actively engage in biodiversity conservation and restoration as well as take actions that help nature regenerate.

THE DETAILS The owner of Biore has added a new section, Aiming for Symbiosis between People, Nature and Chemistry, to assess the impact of chemical substances on biodiversity and to demonstrate the company’s stance on addressing the challenges of both biodiversity and climate change.

THE WHY? Reversing and restoring biodiversity is an urgent issue, Kao said in a statement, and with the company’s business activities dependent on the bounty of the Earth’s various ecosystems and biodiversity, the Molton Brown manufacturer is aiming to reverse biodiversity loss.
