Our Approach to Sustainability

At BODYSCIENCE ® as part of Humble Group, we define sustainability as “meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs” also know as the Brundtland definition, defined by the United Nations Brundtland Commission in 1987.

We stand by this definition of sustainability because it is all encompassing – it covers more than the siloed approach of environmental, social and governance (ESG) and allows for the complexity and interconnectivity of all these areas to

be recognized.

Our approach and way of working with sustainability is based on science. It aligns with the global understanding of the planetary boundaries and on how corporations are responsible for contributing to the UN Sustainable Development Goals while maintaining a minimum social foundation. We have a systems approach as we seek to fully integrate a sustainable perspective in our business.

Our Strategic Framework

We have defined a framework for our strategic work with sustainability across the whole group. 

Our Group sustainability strategy defines our role in a sustainable society and sets out our direction for the future. 

It guides the way we approach sustainability – the Humble Way towards a sustainable future.

Humble Group’s sustainability strategy “healthy people on a healthy planet” aims to ​challenge and develop the FMCG industry, leading the way to a just and regenerative future.
