HAND IN HAND
Hand in Hand is a Swedish non-profit organization working to fight poverty through entrepreneurship. Through training, education, and support, millions of women have started their own small businesses and lifted themselves and their families out of poverty. By providing microloans, small-scale farmers can start their own businesses and become self-sufficient. Hand in Hand primarily focuses on women, as studies show that women are more likely to reinvest their income in their families. IDUN Minerals is a proud sponsor of Hand in Hand and has supported women in beekeeping and sunflower farming, as well as contributed to providing a community of 2,000 inhabitants with a water well.

LIFE CYCLE ANALYSIS
During the fall of 2021, we participated in a life cycle analysis research project in collaboration with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Perrigo and Apotek Hjärtat. The objective was to generate findings that assess the climate impact across a products value chain and identify key stages in the life cycle with the most significant climate impact. The results provided us with a broader perspective and valuable insights to promote a more sustainable supply chain, which we can integrate into our product development and brand. For instance, the study showed that designing for recyclability is an important factor to save carbon emissions. You can read the full report below.

U&WE
CARBON FOOTPRINT PROJECT
In the spring of 2023, we collaborated with climate consultants from U&We on a project aimed at comparing our carbon footprint on two of our packaging transformations: The Blush/Bronzer and Powder foundation packaging. We calculated the climate impact in the entire value chain of the packaging, from raw materials to delivery in our warehouse. The goal was to obtain concrete data on our packaging transformation progress and ensure we were moving in the right direction. The results revealed significant benefits from our production shift to Europe and the adoption of alternative materials. For instance, the study found that the new blush/bronzer packaging in paper had a nearly 75% less carbon footprint compared to the Asian plastic packaging we previously used. Additionally, our new powder foundation packaging demonstrated a 50% decrease in climate impact. The project gave us valuable knowledge that we can apply to our future product developments, such as emphasizing the importance of using renewable energy in production, which we are now highly valuing when choosing our European suppliers.
