Ulta Beauty Joins The Sustainability Consortium

The Sustainability Consortium (TSC) announced that Ulta Beauty joined as an All-Access member to support TSC’s climate goals and engage other members in deeper sustainability conversations. The beauty retailer joins the growing home and personal care products sector of TSC members leading industries to create more sustainable practices and products.

Through its corporate initiatives in its stores and at the product level, Ulta's sustainability efforts include diverting 14,800 tons of waste from landfill and, in 2021, investing $1.6 million in energy management system retrofits while working toward greater sustainable packaging across its full assortment. In addition, Conscious Beauty at Ulta Beauty helps consumers identify clean ingredients, cruelty free, vegan, and sustainably-packaged brands and products.

“We are excited to join The Sustainability Consortium and its members in support of identifying and executing against solutions for sustainability — especially as it aligns to our ambition to create greater clarity across the industry relative to clean ingredients and sustainable packaging.”

— Kristin Wolf, senior vice president, Enterprise Strategy and Transformation
