KIEHL’S MISSION RENEWAL
We are committed to the health of skin and the wellbeing of the world. While our purpose has never changed, the challenges facing business and society require us to re-think every aspect of our business, to help keep resources and materials in play for longer.
OUR MISSION IN PROGRESS
Kiehl’s was built to last in 1851, and together we strive for a healthier planet for generations to come.
We have mapped out our way forward to meet specific goals by 2030.

SO, WHAT IS “CIRCULARITY”?
Today, the way we make products is linear. We take materials and resources, create products and then eventually throw them away as waste.
In a circular economy, we mimic nature’s way of doing things by focusing on how we use resources and manufacture products and by having a plan for the materials and packaging afterwards to help stop waste from being created in the first place.

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN FOR KIEHL’S?
At Kiehl’s, this means that we source renewable and abundant ingredients, formulate with green chemistry, use upcycled and post-recycled materials in our packaging and stores, and power our manufacturing with renewable energy and a closed water loop. We are also evolving by introducing refillable products and packaging made with less material and recycling empty bottles and jars to be melted down into materials for the future.
While our mission is far from complete, we discover new ways to improve every day and remain committed to closing the loop for the health of our planet.
