Beauty and spa therapy educational organisation CIDESCO International has launched its Expert Guide to the Sustainable Salon & Spa in a bid to make both the wellness and beauty sectors more sustainable.

“This guide has been compiled to help and encourage more spas and salons to reduce their impact on the environment,” says Karin Lupgens, president of CIDESCO, “sustainability in business will ensure that your business will endure for future generations.”

Topics covered include energy, waste management, reducing water consumption, how to choose sustainable product partners and educating staff and customers.

Each section features suggestions and action points from CIDESCO to help spa and salon owners run a greener business.

CIDESCO has also included advice from members who are undertaking their own sustainability campaigns to showcase industry best practice and inspire other spa and salon owners.

“As Sir David Attenborough says: “The future of humanity and indeed, all life on earth, now depends on us." Sustainability is no longer a choice, it's a necessity. Let's all do our part,” concluded Lupgens.
