Getting recognition for social and environmental initiatives
Since its origin in 1995, sustainability has been central to Caudalie’s ethos. Today, with a range of claims from Family-Owned to 1% For The Planet, they need to shout about their positive impact, but find that sustainability initiatives often get lost in translation.
In a competitive market, it’s difficult for Caudalie to get the airtime that they deserve, as they compete for recognition with other brands, many of whom are less impact-driven. Annual sustainability awareness campaigns help, but they are occasional, and driving awareness by securing media coverage can be a lottery.
Always-on sustainability touch points for shoppers
With scannable Proof Points on their product pages on Cult Beauty and Naturisimo, Caudalie are now able to quickly communicate the full breadth of their positive impact to shoppers, without taking them out of the ecommerce journey.
Unlike ad hoc sustainability campaign moments or PR editorials, these Proof Points are always-on, driving awareness of their social and environmental impact throughout the year. Those shoppers that want to dig deeper also have easy access to in-depth, fact-checked information about Caudalie’s sustainability initiatives.
