Green Salon Collective – the hairdressing industry’s leading authority on sustainability – has been awarded two impressive new accolades, in recognition of its ongoing efforts to protect the future of our planet.

B Lab UK’s* ‘Best For The World’ B Corp Status

Following an in-depth assessment, Green Salon Collective has been awarded B Lab UK’s* ‘Best For The World’ B Corp status for 2022 after scoring in the top 5% of similarly sized B Corps worldwide. GSC was recognised under the Governance category, acknowledging the company’s ‘commitment to positively impact all its stakeholders’ in overall mission, ethics, accountability and transparency.

Awards

The Marie Claire Sustainability Awards 2022 have also named Green Salon Collective as the winner in the Best Progress Towards Circularity category, in recognition of its commitment to ‘recycling the unrecyclable’ by finding circular solutions to all salon waste. From oil-absorbing hair booms (made from hair cuttings) designed to protect our waters and wildlife, to plastic waste transformed into colour bowls, GSC is paving the way for a more eco-aware industry.

More Ethical

‘At Green Salon Collective, we are committed to finding and facilitating ways for salons to become more ethical and sustainable’ says Fry Taylor, co-founder of Green Salon Collective. ‘To be recognised for our work is very humbling and so appreciated, particularly at this level. Out of 5,000 Certified B Corporations worldwide, we are among the top 5% BCorps for Governance and proud to be one of the Best For The World™ this year. And we’re just getting started! We will continue collaborating with the global BCorp community to improve and positively impact all our stakeholders.

Company Mission

‘Our achievement in winning at the Marie Claire Sustainability Awards is an incredible honour and once which I hope will enable us to share our work with an even greater audience. As individuals and businesses, we should all be more committed to finding circular solutions for our waste and I hope our company mission will inspire others to take steps to live, and promote, a more sustainable lifestyle.’

Salon Waste

The Green Salon Collective was established to find ways of reusing all salon waste, be it through recycling, composting or conversion into energy. From used foil and colour tubes, to salon towels, chemicals and hair cuttings, the GSC is the original authority on salon sustainability throughout the UK and Ireland, with all profits raised donated to charity.
