CIDESCO, the world standard for beauty and spa therapy, is encouraging its members, students and schools to become more environmentally aware.
It has issued its own guidelines to becoming a more sustainable operator – an International Sustainability Initiative that includes a six-step manifesto to sustainability.
This manifesto covers waste reduction, recycling, water conservation, avoidance of pollutants, staff training and sourcing suppliers who support sustainability.
CIDESCO International President, Anna-Cari Gund, says: “As a global enterprise with representation in more than 40 countries, our members can really make a difference when they come together to support such an important issue.
“Going green is far more than just a trend, as sustainable business practices must now be considered a major priority in running a successful spa or salon business. Operating sustainably needs to be built into all our working practices and having guidelines to follow makes it easier and more achievable.”
CIDESCO is encouraging future therapists and managers to take responsibility in global sustainability. With its guidance, CIDESCO is emphasising that eco-efforts are not about sacrifice, but about healthy choices to enhance overall sustainability of the industry.
