& Other Stories has launched a new make-up line featuring all vegan formulas, premium textures and skin-loving ingredients like hyaluronic acid and squalane. “Makeup is something seemingly small but a stroke of just the right colour has the power to shift not only your whole look, but also your mood”, says Daphne Siwers, Creative Concept Developer, Colour Cosmetics at & Other Stories.    The line has been developed by the & Other Stories’ team of beauty experts and chemists together with some of the world's leading independent beauty partners. It works like a colour wardrobe, featuring core products with carefully selected tones and shades complemented by seasonal standout specials. #HMGroup #OtherStories #MakeUp #Fashion

What does fashion have to do with nature and why is H&M Group talking about it? The simple answer is, without nature we wouldn’t have a business.

After reaching a global agreement aiming to halt and reverse nature loss by 2030 at the last COP, the focus will now be on taking action.

We have entered into an agreement to help tackle deforestation in the Brazilian state of Pará.   The deal was brokered by LEAF Coalition, which brings together corporations and governments. It will provide investment to preserve critical forests and support communities.   The Amazon is a critical ecosystem in the fight to limit global temperature rise to 1.5°. We have to halt deforestation to avoid dangerous tipping points that can further accelerate climate change.   Proceeds from the agreement will finance programs to reduce deforestation and support sustainable economic development. Economic benefits will be equitably shared with Indigenous Peoples, traditional communities and family farmers who are on the frontline in the battle against deforestation.   “Protecting tropical forests is essential to safeguarding biodiversity and addressing climate change. We must work together to make a difference”, comments Leyla Ertur, Director of Sustainability, H&M Group.   Find out more about the deal https://lnkd.in/eCwyTahC   #HMGroup #Biodiversity #LEAFCoalition #Climate #NetZero #Brazil
